Visitors to CropTec on November 24 will be given the opportunity to admire the Barclays Premier League trophy.
The iconic trophy will be on show on and visitors to the event will be invited to take a selfie with it.
The Barclays Premier League trophy was crafted in 2004 when Barclays became title sponsor of the Premier League. Due to its value, is always flanked by two security guards when on display, as the trophy is officially classed priceless.
The trophy was won for a record 20th time by Manchester United at the end of the 2012 / 2013 Barclays Premier League.
Representative from CropTec, comments: “We are absolutely delighted that the Barclays Premier League trophy will be at the CropTec show this year. It’s a fantastic opportunity for visitors to see one of the most famous trophies in sport.”

- The base of the trophy is made from Malacite, a semi-precious stone found in Africa.
- The design of the trophy is based on the theme of ‘The Three Lions of English Football’. Two of the lions can be found above the handles on either side of the trophy. When the captain of the title winning team raises the trophy (and its gold crown) above his head at the end of the season, he becomes the third lion.
