EXHIBITORS can now book their space at this year’s ARB Show – which will be held as a standalone event for the first time since 2019. 

Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, will host one of the biggest arboricultural trade fairs between May 12 and 13. 

While 2022’s event was hosted alongside the APF Show at Warwickshire’s Ragley Estate in September, this one, Arboricultural Association (AA) bosses say, will feature a ‘new and improved showground layout’ and ‘many events and attractions’.

An AA statement read: “We’ve made changes to the layout to improve the flow around the site including new trackway. 

“There’ll be plenty of attractions and workshop sessions for arborists, activities that raise awareness of the tree care profession for the public, plus a dedicated marketing campaign as we aim to push attendance to record levels.”

Since 2017, AA chiefs say the ARB Show has attracted an average of 7,000 visitors. As well as tools, equipment, and PPE, the event presents all aspects of arb, including insurance, trailers, and tree assessment technologies. 

The statement continued: “The ARB Show has quickly become the ‘must-see’ event for arborists and everyone involved or interested in trees.”
