The FTMTA has announced that the Farm Machinery Show will be held once again at the Punchestown Exhibition and Event Centre, running from Tuesday to Thursday, 10-12 November 2026.

Announcing the dates for next year’s show, FTMTA executive director Michael Farrelly said that returning to its traditional winter schedule has been a positive move.

“The success of the 2024 event has meant that the show will go ahead in 2026 as a biannual event,” he said. “Holding the show in its previously established slot on the calendar, in addition to holding it every two years, was something that our executive council felt would resonate with both our members and their customers,” he said.

The FTMTA Farm Machinery Show will return in November 2026.

“Exhibitor space sold out in 2024, and current indications suggest stronger demand in 2026. We attracted over 160 exhibitors, who showcased their wares in over 150,000 square feet of covered indoor space,” he added.

“Our membership is telling us they want this show back again in 2026 and with that they want more space. The strong interest we’ve already received about next year’s show, is why we’re announcing the date at this time whilst encouraging exhibitors to book early so as to avoid disappointment.”

Meanwhile, ahead of the FTMTA’s annual conference, which will be held at the Heritage Hotel in Killenard, Co Laois on 8 October, Farrelly reported that FTMTA membership has grown by 15% over the past four years.
