The West Country’s leading agricultural machinery event, the West Country Farming & Machinery Show, is set to return on 11 February 2026 at the renowned Westpoint Arena in Exeter.
This FREE event is tailored for the farming industry, showcasing the latest machinery from top manufacturers and dealers. Whether your interests lie in livestock, dairy, or arable farming, the show has something for everyone.
What to expect: new machines, auctions, and more
Located in the heart of the West Country, the West Country Farming & Machinery Show will once again offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore new machines, innovations, a live auction, and opportunities for industry discussion, all under one roof. With exhibitors spanning over 9,000sqm of exhibition space, this event remains a must-attend for anyone in the agricultural sector.
“We had a fantastic time at the West Country Farming & Machinery Show at Westpoint Arena!” said Compass Tractors and Compass Automotive after last year’s event. “The reception was incredible, with a great mix of existing and new customers stopping by our stand.
“We were thrilled to sell multiple M-Tec Engineering Trailers directly from the stand and book several INEOS Grenadier 4×4 test drives, bringing us closer to helping more customers get behind the wheel. The show was a brilliant platform for Compass Automotive, and we can’t wait to be back next year!”
Indeed, Compass Tractors is set to do the same this year, bringing an impressive display of both agricultural machinery and automotive innovation.
On the Tractor Stand, Compass Tractors will present the brand-new Fendt 832 Gen 5 and the new E100 Electric Fendt.
Compass Tractors will also be hosting an Automotive Stand, where visitors can get a first look at the ’26 model year INEOS Grenadier Black Edition, which is a limited-edition vehicle for the first quarter of 2026, alongside the ’26 model year Quartermaster.
With some of the biggest names in the industry already confirmed as exhibitors, the 2026 edition of the West Country Farming & Machinery is set to be the biggest yet, with brands represented including Amazone, Manitou, Case IH, John Deere, Fendt, Pöttinger, Kuhn, New Holland, Claas, JCB, McCormick, Stewart, Krone, Sumo, Samson, Grimme, and Merlo.
Country Land and Business Association will also be in attendance and the show is sponsored by Amazone and Stags.
Exciting live machinery auction
