LAWN MOWER RACING IS BACK

Organisers of GroundsFest have confirmed that one of their most popular attractions is set to return this year, with lawn mower racing taking place across both days of the event.

Sponsored by Kramp UK and organised by the West Midlands Lawn Mower Racing Association (WMLMRA), the competition will see competitors battle it out on a custom-built track in a bid to lift the second-ever GroundsFest Cup.

Adding a new dimension to the racing this year will be the inclusion of the junior section of the West Midlands Lawn Mower Racing Association, giving younger racers the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of the GroundsFest audience.

The racing will take place at timed intervals throughout both days of the show.

GroundsFest marketing director, Chris Bennett, said, "The lawn mower racing was a huge hit with visitors last year and created a real buzz around the showground. It's one of those features that perfectly captures the spirit of GroundsFest - fun, engaging and bringing people together. We're delighted to welcome the West Midlands Lawn Mower Racing Association back and grateful to Kramp UK for their continued support."
