That’s a wrap on Cereals Event 2026! From speaking about FarmersAid and meeting hundreds of visitors, to our First Response Challenge, prize drops, ponchos in the rain, and some very special guests along the way, it’s been an incredible few days.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, downloaded the app, shared their stories and supported FarmersAid.

See you at the next event!

We may have been singing in the rain at Cereals Event this week! We were absolutely delighted to welcome the winners of Britain's Got Talent, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir , to our stand to help promote the recently launched FarmersAid App.

Despite the wet weather, they brought plenty of energy, smiles and fantastic support, helping us spread the word about how FarmersAid can support farming people with real time guidance in the event of an accident on farm.

A huge thank you to the Hawkstone Choir for stopping by and helping make our event more memorable.

Rain or shine, it was a highlight of the event!

We're having a fantastic time at Cereals Event this week!

Visitors to our stand have been putting their knowledge to the test with our First Response Challenge, learning what to do in a range of emergency situations that could happen on the farm.

Once they've completed the challenge, they have the chance to take part in our Prize Drop, with plenty of opportunities to win some great prizes!

If you're at Cereals, make sure you stop by our stand, take on the challenge, and see if you're one of our lucky winners. We’d also love to chat to you about the newly launched FarmerAid app and how it can support farming people when they need it most.

📍 Come and say hello at Stand 340 – we look forward to seeing you!

We’ve had another great day at the Royal Cornwall Show.

Today, we hosted a breakfast for members of the agricultural community, bringing people together for conversation and connection before another busy day on the stand.

Throughout the afternoon, we enjoyed answering questions and speaking to visitors about our newly launched FarmersAid app and how it can support farming people with real time guidance for serious on-farm accidents.

It’s also been great to support the Knights of Middle England in the Main Ring - a brilliant display enjoyed by so many across the showground.

We’re excited to continue speaking with more people tomorrow, so please come and visit us on the stand to find out more and say hello.
