Free buses for visitors to Livestock 2013 event

Free buses will be provided for visitors to this year’s Livestock Event taking place on 3 and 4 July at the NEC, Birmingham.

Event organiser, the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers supported by the Livestock Auctioneers Association, is offering free coach travel from 18 departure points located at auction marts across Britain on purchase of an online ticket for £20, the same as the gate price.

LAA executive secretary Chris Dodds said: “It’s an offer which provides farmers with the opportunity to visit and enjoy a top-class agricultural event, without the worry and cost of trying to arrange their own transport, by being picked up and dropped off at their local auction mart.”

RABDF chief executive Nick Everington added: “After a year of really tough conditions we want to give all livestock farmers the opportunity to enjoy an event that will provide answers to their issues, supply exciting new ideas and inspire them to move forward..”
