The Society of Ploughmen is a registered charity run by volunteers from the farming community and organises the annual British National Ploughing Championships in a different part of the country each year.

Not only do we have the country’s top ploughmen - and women - taking part, (usually around 250 of them over the two days) with conventional, reversible, vintage, classic, horticultural, horses and more but we have an extensive trade stand area and machinery demonstrations.  Companies involved will be from a varied range of agri-business, from tractors to tyres, seeds & fertilisers, finance to tools. 

And for the farming family it offers a rare working glimpse of how farming has changed over the past 300 years – magnificent heavy horses, giant steam engines and displays of many styles of vintage tractors and equipment.  With trade stands, shopping stalls and country crafts, it’s a great day out!

We are holding the 74th Championships in 2025 and the event is planned for 11th & 12th October near Allesley, Coventry by kind permission of the Brandreth Family and the Sir Thomas White Trust.
