Early bird tickets now on sale for Dairy Tech 2026

Early bird tickets are now on sale for Dairy Tech 2026, the flagship event for British dairy farmers. Organised by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) and supported by Principal Sponsor Barclays, the show returns to Stoneleigh Park on Wednesday 4 February with cutting-edge dairy science, technology, and practical insights.

Next year’s event is extra special, marking 150 years of the RABDF and celebrating the very first dairy show held in 1876. Dairy Tech 2026 will showcase this milestone in style, reflecting the association’s long-standing commitment to supporting British dairy farmers.

With a packed timetable of interactive talks, live demonstrations, and expert-led discussions, the RABDF event promises practical insights and the very latest in dairy innovation. Pre-booked tickets are £20, with on-the-day tickets priced at £25.

RABDF Chair and Cumbrian dairy farmer Robert Craig said: “Our industry faces real challenges, but also exciting opportunities. Dairy Tech is designed to give farmers practical solutions they can take home and use straight away, whether it’s managing costs, improving herd health, or exploring the latest technology.

“Next year’s Dairy-Tech is extra special as we celebrate 150 years of the RABDF and look back to the very first dairy show in 1876. It’s a proud milestone that highlights the association’s long history of supporting British dairy farmers and demonstrates the resilience and innovation that continues to define our sector today.”

What’s on

Visitors can explore almost 300 exhibitors across three exhibition halls and enjoy a full day of learning and inspiration, including practical demonstration areas and informative talks.

Top of many dairy producers’ minds will be milk price cuts and what to expect in 2026. Several sessions on the Dairy Hub, sponsored by Kite – part of the Asterra Group, will provide insights into milk markets, along with practical advice on how to manage any reductions.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for visitors to put forward questions to industry experts, including the first-ever Farmers Weekly Question Time, hosted at the RABDF event.

Social media influencers Rebecca Wilson and Charlotte Ashley from the Wilson and Ashley podcast will lead a session on the Innovation Hub, sponsored by Lely, showcasing some of the latest dairy innovations hitting the UK market.

And, if that wasn’t enough, the popular Healthy Feet Demonstration Area will return, offering practical, hands-on advice for managing lameness and improving herd welfare.

The one-day RABDF event gives visitors the chance to explore the latest innovations and gain practical advice to take back to their farms, making it a must-visit for anyone working in the dairy sector.
