The Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector in England, Alan Laidlaw, will be attending a programme of major agricultural shows and conferences throughout the summer and autumn.
Here’s where you can find him and how to get in touch.
The Commissioner’s office has shared its planned show attendance for the remainder of 2026, with events spanning the calendar from June through to November. The programme has been designed to reach as wide a range of stakeholders as possible across the sector, and the office is keen to make the most of each event – whether through informal conversations on the showground, panel sessions, or arranged meetings.
TFA members are encouraged to look out for Alan and his team at the events below. If you would like to arrange a meeting, join a panel discussion, or organise any other form of engagement at or around one of these shows, the Commissioner’s office is very happy to hear from you.
