    The NFU is a proud partner of the show which is rapidly becoming a central event for low carbon farming. At a time when food and energy security are rightly high on everyone’s minds, the show provides targeted support for producing climate-friendly food, energy and fibre. There is a wealth of practical advice from experts on energy, environment, agri-tech and low emissions vehicles. It is an ideal opportunity for farmers to come together to explore opportunities and build resilient businesses.

    Tom Bradshaw · Deputy President · National Farmers Union (NFU) · 2026

    I’m really impressed by the diversity of the audiences at LCA. There's a good mix of stalls and some are talking about really cool AgriTech, renewables, and massive power charges for vehicles.

    UK and European low-carbon agriculture circuit

    Book NEC-area hotels and supplier meetings 8–12 weeks before 20 January 2027; UK January shows cluster in the same fortnight as LAMMA and the Oxford Farming Conference.

    Growers, estate managers and agri-tech suppliers typically pair the Low Carbon Agriculture Show with the UK's machinery, arable and regenerative farming calendar, then benchmark European technology at Agritechnica. Sequencing these events gives buyers a full view of low-carbon machinery, farm energy systems, soil carbon services and policy incentives across a single season.

    Pre-show

    Confirm exhibitor meetings, machinery demo slots and seminar seats for the 20–21 January 2027 edition.

    Show week

    Hall walk-throughs, live equipment demonstrations and supplier negotiations at the NEC.

    Post-show

    Follow-up trials, grant and incentive planning, and quotes ahead of the spring drilling and planting window.

    Peer events are established agriculture and low-carbon farming fairs; verify dates on each organiser website before booking.

    Weather

    Birmingham in January is cold, grey and damp. Daytime temperatures sit around 5–8°C with overnight lows of 1–3°C, and frost is common on clear nights. Rain falls on roughly twelve to fourteen days across the month, often as light persistent drizzle, with occasional sleet and daylight fading before 17:00. Pack warm layers, a waterproof coat with a hood, sturdy waterproof shoes for the NEC walkways and an umbrella for transfers between halls and hotels.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Queuing and punctuality

    Queuing is strictly observed in the UK — join the back of the line at coffee stands, halls and rail platforms. Meetings and appointments start on time, so arrive a few minutes early.

    Dress and greetings

    Smart-casual is the norm on UK trade-show floors, with a jacket for supplier dinners. A handshake is the standard greeting; first names are used quickly, but wait to be invited before using them with senior contacts.

    Most European Union, US, Canadian, Australian, Japanese, South Korean and Gulf passport holders can attend the Low Carbon Agriculture Show without a visa but must hold a valid UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA, GBP 16) before boarding. Visitors from visa-national countries need a UK Standard Visitor Visa (GBP 127, typically decided within three weeks) applied for at gov.uk up to three months before travel.

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Apply online through the UK ETA app or gov.uk before travel; the ETA is valid for two years, covers multiple entries and is linked to your passport. Apply online at gov.uk.

    Packing: January 2027

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 1 — Wednesday 20 January 2027

    Opening day carries the fullest exhibitor presence and the heaviest seminar programme, so machinery, energy and agri-tech teams are fully staffed and demonstration slots are still open. Buyers with a single day should take Day 1 for the widest supplier coverage; anyone sourcing capital equipment should stay for 21 January, when aisles are quieter and technical meetings run longer.

    1

    Confirm UK entry documents (passport or visa) for you and your team. — Check current UK government visitor guidance; visa-national travellers should allow several weeks for a Standard Visitor visa.

    2

    Book flights into Birmingham Airport (BHX), about 10 minutes from the NEC. — BHX sits beside the venue; London Heathrow and Luton work with onward rail to Birmingham International.

    3

    Reserve a hotel near the NEC or in Birmingham city centre for 19-21 January 2027. — On-site options such as Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC sell out first; city-centre hotels are a lower-cost fallback.

    4

    Register online for a free visitor pass before 4 January 2027 at lowcarbonagricultureshow.co.uk. — After 4 January tickets cost £8 + VAT online and £12 + VAT at the door.

    5

    Download the Low Carbon Agriculture Show programme and NEC hall plan once the organiser publishes them. — Map the halls and seminar stages you need to cover across the two show days.

    6

    Shortlist exhibitors in low-carbon machinery, renewable energy, soil health and agri-tech; request meetings in advance. — Use the exhibitor directory to prioritise stands and live demos.

    7

    Secure B2B or matchmaking meetings with suppliers and advisers where the organiser offers them. — Lock in slots so they do not clash with conference sessions.

    8

    Plan ground transport to and from the NEC. — Birmingham International rail station and BHX connect directly to the NEC estate.

    9

    Prepare a buyer brief with your farm or business goals and budget for low-carbon investment. — Bring soil, energy and machinery data to compare solutions on site.

    10

    Check the January Birmingham forecast and pack layers and waterproofs for a UK winter show week. — Expect cold, changeable weather across the NEC campus.

    11

    Save digital and printed copies of your registration, ID and meeting schedule. — Keep confirmations handy for badge collection.

    12

    On day one arrive early for badge collection at the NEC and orient yourself to the halls. — Doors open 20 January 2027; allow buffer time for the NEC walk from transport.
