The Association of Play Industries (API) is delighted to announce that GroundsFest will be the primary sponsor of this year’s special Annual General Meeting to celebrate 40 years of the API.
GroundsFest is the largest, annual, free event for grounds staff, greenkeepers, landscapers, designers & architects, gardeners, local authorities, estate managers and contractors. The first ever GroundsFest, held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 20 and 21 September last year, proved to be a huge success for the play sector.
Companies such as Kompan, Wicksteed Leisure, Play and Leisure, The Play Inspection Company, Redlynch Leisure, Huck Nets UK, Star Rubber Environmental and eibe Play exhibited in the outdoor play area, enabling them to install their equipment in the ground and really showcase their products.

With a wave of new exhibitors and expanded space, GroundsFest 2024 is set to exceed expectations, offering extraordinary opportunities for industry professionals.
