LAMMA moving to NEC from 2019

[Corporate_Slave]

Just been announced that LAMMA will move to the NEC from 2019. With 2018 being the last at Peterborough.

Looks like it will be a week earlier or so, the 8th & 9th January and on a Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thoughts?

Interesting

"LAMMA will continue to be a free-to-attend event and will remain on its proven and successful January timeline"

Just got the email too. I like it at Peterborough as it’s only 10mins away, however I suppose it’s better for a lot of people. Just depends what happens to stand prices - it’s already too dear for some exhibitors, lets hope stand prices don’t skyrocket and kill it completely.

Full media release is here http://www.lammashow.com/ and scroll down to SHOW NEWS headline and the top post there - I can't seem to copy a link directly to it?

no reason for prices to rise IMO - livestock at NEC is no more expensive than LAMMA and its a much smaller show

Ah well,that will be another good show caputed then.

why ? much better venue ? indoor, near international train station and airport, central to the UK with great road links ................and warmer / dryer than Peterborough

IIRC, when this idea was mooted a few years back the main issue was the parking. If visitors would pay or the organisers would 'buy' the parking as well.

rarely ever free parking at the NEC - its not the end of the world cost however for a free entry show and hotels etc will be much more plentiful and cheaper options , travel for many will be closer and therefore cheaper

Great move and overdue.

Suits me fine, 3 hours closer to home

Finally the uks premier Ag machinery event will be on a par with SIMA and Agritechnica.

Good call I reckon.

Even further away... wasn't keen on Peterborough after Newark, not convinced about Birmingham just yet.

All 3 in the same year in 2019 as well.

I am sure being outside and having to wrap up real well especially when snow and ice were around like the last year at Newark added a bit of character to Lamma and really made the abundance of hot drinks and biscuits very enjoyable

Going be alot nicer to get to at the NEC tho and hopefully no more 21/22hr days

Woo hoo!
