The flagship event of the National Sheep Association (NSA), NSA Sheep Event, returns this summer providing an ideal day out for anyone involved in the UK sheep industry.

Opening its gates on Tuesday 28th July at its usual home of the Three Counties Showground, Worcestershire, the business to business event will feature its usual impressive array of seminars featuring top industry names, interactive workshops passing on useful practical shepherding advice, more than 250 trade and breed society stands showcasing the latest innovations and products, demonstrations, competitions and more.

Warwickshire sheep farmer and Chair of the 2026 event Ant Spencer comments: “There is no better show to demonstrate and celebrate all that is great about the British sheep industry. It really is a great opportunity to have a day off the farm to get up to date with the latest news, browse sheep specific tradestands and most importantly catch up with farming friends.”

The event seminar tent will no doubt be home to much insightful discussion as its speakers prepare to cover a number of topical issues such as the future of sheep farming and its multifunctional systems, and market and trade opportunities.

Those wishing to make more of a visit to the event can also sign up to join the pre event farm tours taking place on Monday 27th July, in conjunction with Field Farm Tours, and the NSA Sheep Event Dinner taking place on Monday evening.

Other features not to be missed at NSA Sheep Event include the ever popular cookery theatre, the entertaining and inspiring sheepdog demonstrations and competitions including the much anticipated national final of the NSA Next Generation Shepherd of the Year contest.

With the event taking place during UK school summer holidays, additional attractions will also keep everyone in the family entertained, no matter their age.

Tickets for non-members are available to buy online at an early bird rate, meaning less time at the gate and more time on the showground enjoying the event.
