The National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN) conference and trade exhibition is the key industry event of the year for the UK’s farm parks and rural attractions. It takes place on 3rd & 4th February 2016 at the Titanic Hotel Liverpool and brings together over 200 key operators and suppliers for two days of site visits, conference presentations and trade show.
Started in 1996, The NFAN delivers professional support and assistance across a number of areas:
Industry Code of Practice
In 2012, The NFAN assisted the HSE in creating the Industry Code of Practice, which provides guidelines on how visitors to farm and rural attractions should interact with animals.
The NFAN now help Members interpret the guidelines with workshops and one-on-one Member discussions. NFAN has also produced a helpful video demonstrating best practice.
Networking Event
The NFAN originally started as a networking organisation and continues to run regular events for their Members.
Events range from the NFAN Annual Conference and two-day road shows to open days and knowledge sharing FarmHub Workshops.
Sharing Knowledge
The NFAN also provide tools for Members to increase their knowledge in specific areas. On this website, we post regular useful information resources (available for Members) and throughout the year hold workshops with industry experts.
Raising Standards
The NFAN Awards are held annually and provide an opportunity for the farm attraction industry to showcase their ‘best in class’ attractions.
In addition to the main Farm Attraction of the Year Award, there are a number of different award categories.
Offering Specialist Advice & Support
The NFAN office provides Members with support and advice through a manned telephone service.
Additional initiatives NFAN have developed are a specialist insurance product through Marsh & Co, a free 15 minute planning consultation with Davies & Co and a benchmarking service, enabling attractions to confidentially share their visitor numbers.
