Claydon will be holding its annual Open Days later this month, where you get the chance to see innovative farming solutions and explore smarter ways of farming.
Dates: 28the - 29th April 2026
Location: Claydon factory and farm, Bunters Road, Wickhambrook, CB8 8XY, Suffolk, UK
This year’s focus: Farming Profitably
On Tuesday 28th April and Wednesday 29th April you will have the chance to see how Claydon machinery is designed, manufactured and proven in the field. These annual events provide visitors with an excellent opportunity to tour the Claydon factory and view the full range of direct drills and stubble management machinery. Learn about the financial and agronomic benefits of the Claydon Opti-Till® System, which reduces the cost and time to as little as 20% that of a plough-based or min-till approach.
For each session, visitors will have an opportunity to look around the Claydon farm to see winter and spring crops in the field, discuss soil health, cover crops and farm management systems with industry experts, and chat to existing Claydon owners. Grants for Claydon machinery can also be discussed in more detail. You can also see guest presentations from Ceres Rural (‘Profitable farming, controlling your input costs’), Soil Capital and Frontier Environmental.
Visitors have the option of attending a morning session from 08.15 to 13.00, including arrival refreshments and lunch, or an afternoon session from 12.30 until 17.15 with lunch and closing refreshments. Each session will follow the same format.
Prior registration is required by Wednesday 22 April. To reserve a place call 01440 820327 indicating which of the four sessions you would like to attend and your dietary preferences.
