Why visit
Norfolk Landscapes Conference & Exhibition is built around practical environmental and conservation advice for farmers, land managers and advisers working Norfolk's arable, grassland and wetland landscapes. Attendees come for sessions and exhibitor stands on sustainable farming practice, environmental schemes, habitat and water management, and farm-level funding routes, then take those ideas back to their own holdings. The exhibition area puts you directly in front of the advisers, suppliers and scheme representatives who answer questions on soil, water, woodland, ponds and biodiversity on the day, which is why the showground format suits farmers who want answers rather than brochures.
Why exhibit
Exhibiting puts your stand in front of Norfolk FWAG's farm, estate and adviser network in a single showground day, where the audience is already working on environmental schemes, habitat projects and sustainable farming plans. Relevant suppliers include conservation and habitat contractors, water and soil testing services, seed and machinery specialists serving environmental schemes, woodland and pond restoration providers, and advisory bodies working on farm funding and compliance. The showground setting at Norfolk Showground combines indoor and outdoor space, so demonstrations, equipment displays and outdoor stands can sit alongside indoor advisory and services stands.

Norfolk FWAG maintains a dedicated 2024 round-up of the Norfolk Landscapes Conference & Exhibition on its site, which documents the content and structure of that earlier edition, including its mix of policy and practical farm-conservation sessions. As of the current evidence pack, norfolkfwag.co.uk has not published a confirmed feature list for the 3 November 2026 edition, so delegates should treat the 2024 round-up as background only and confirm the 2026 programme and any new session formats on the organiser pages before booking travel.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Smart casual is typical at UK farming and land-management events. Norfolk FWAG conferences mix policy and practical sessions, so layer for a room that may run warm indoors and cool outdoors, and choose footwear that works on a showground site.
Arrival and registration
Arrive early on the day for badge collection and venue orientation, and allow extra time if you plan to walk the outdoor stands before the first morning session. Keep your registration confirmation available on your phone and in print.
Outdoor venue practicality
Norfolk Showground is an exposed outdoor site, and November conditions can be wet underfoot. Waterproof outerwear, warm layers and water-resistant boots are realistic choices, with a change of footwear for indoor sessions.
Farm biosecurity
Agricultural venues and farm events commonly ask visitors to arrive with clean footwear and vehicles. Where an exhibitor or stand covers livestock, seed or crop-health topics, follow any biosecurity directions on site.
Language and currency
The working language of the conference and exhibition is English. The currency is pounds sterling (GBP); card payment is widely accepted in Norwich and at most venues, though carrying a small amount of cash is useful for incidental purchases.
Local etiquette
Handshakes are the standard greeting in a UK farm business setting. Discussions with advisers, exhibitors and other growers tend to be informal and direct, so it is normal to ask practical questions about scheme eligibility, costs and timings.
Daylight and timing
Norwich sees short daylight hours in early November, with sunset falling early in the afternoon. Plan outdoor stand visits and any post-conference travel with that in mind rather than leaving field demonstrations until late in the day.
