The Sports & Grounds Expo
All New Outdoor Trade Show Is Gaining Momentum for Summer 2021
With the government’s announcement outlining the road map for this summer, SAGE has gained huge momentum. The planning over the last 6 months can now move further into refining the "added value" and the team are keen to get the word out - Join us 27 - 29 July 2021, for the all new OUTDOOR Sports and Grounds Expo (SAGE).
Set in the stunning surrounds of the Three Counties Showground at the foot of the Malvern Hills, the show has a clear focus on hands-on demonstrations and experiences, offering visitors the chance to see and test out the latest products and ideas within the industry. Come and see leading exhibitors showcase their products in action - without limitations on space - bringing together grounds personnel from a broad range of sectors to provide an engaging and well- resourced environment.
Many companies are looking to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness, and this is a key area which SAGE is focusing on; exploring and showcasing the products that allow this to actually happen across the industry.
“The government’s announcement out of lockdown has really opened up the summer; SAGE now sits perfectly in the calendar, and provides a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors and to see what is on offer across the industry. Our motivation is to give visitors a hands-on experience as much as possible, without

compromising on safety and, at The Three Counties Showground, this is easily achieved,” says Event Manager Vicky Panniers
