UK Hydro Expo

The UK Hydro Show Bristol brings the growers back together – August 7th–9th 2026

“After a three-year gap, the UK’s hydroponic community finally has a place to

reconnect, trade ideas, and celebrate our culture.”

 

When two seasoned hydroponic professionals with a combined 35 years of  Industry experience decided it was time for something new, the result was inevitable — the UK Hydro Show Bristol.

Following the success and eventual conclusion of the Summer Social shows, We saw an opportunity.

After three years without a dedicated UK hydro event, We are bringing the community together again —

this time on a, which also happens to be a beautiful, eco-award-winning festival site in Bristol,which also happens to be a working sheep farm.

What to Expect

From Friday evening, August 7th, until sunday evening, the site will transform into a hydro hub, with :

​

30+ exhibitor : stands featuring the latest hydroponic tech, nutrients, and lighting.

Grow shop–manufacturer networking : giving retailers the chance to speak directly with distributors.

•Exclusive show-day deals : for those ready to stock up.

Garden Culture Magazine’s Growshop survey : collecting feedback on distributors, brands, and

products.

•Evening barn parties : with a lineup of DJs.

Camping, food stalls, live music, to keep the festival vibe alive all weekend.

​

“It’s more than an industry show — it’s a festival for bringing our community together.”

 

The Location

The site isn’t just any venue — it’s an operational sheep farm that doubles as a festival ground,

complete with multiple eco awards for sustainability. It’s a setting that feels authentic, green, and

connected to the land — exactly what a modern hydroponic show should be.
