Demonstrators will be on hand to take you through the varieties and provide insight into their ratings and yield outlook for the year ahead. There will also be a chance to discuss crop marketing decisions and a forward look with the AHDB Market Intelligence representatives.

Technical guidance will also be available on a range of topics including IPM, benchmarking, spring oat nutrition research and more.

This is a unique opportunity to see how varieties perform in your local area, with a huge range of crops in one place.

Due to coronavirus restrictions, sessions will be run throughout the day over 5 dedicated slots (8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm) and will be limited to a maximum of 22 people each time. Please book onto your preferred session during the day. Groups will be organised upon entry where our staff will take you through the tours. Each session will last around 90 minutes at which point we will turn the event around for the next session.

If further restrictions are announced we will look at adding in extra sessions allowing more people to attend. If these become available and there is a time more suited for you then please rebook.

This year you must book one of the specific time slots, as we will have to refuse entrance to anyone turning up to the event without a booking.

We will be outside for the plot tours and sessions, so please bring appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather. Hand sanitiser stations will be available and social distancing measures will be in place.

BASIS and NRoSO points will be available for attending this event.

Refreshments will not be provided on this occasion, but bottled water will be available.
