The 2013 NFAN Conference & Trade Exhibition took place at Drayton Manor, Staffordshire and was attended by more than 150 delegates and 50 Trade Suppliers.
The Annual Conference in 2013 included Pre Conference tours to two farm parks (the brand new National Forest Adventure Farm and in contrast the long established Hatton Farm Village), a networking dinner and the Annual Conference itself.
