With a sense of normality returning, we are looking forward to more events opening up.
Although the wild bird cases of bird flu have dwindled , good biosecurity standards remains key to protecting your birds.

Summer events tend to have only small poultry and waterfowl sections, or a waterfowl display. These have not been included for some time and will take a while to get going again. The main shows and exhibitions are in the winter though, when birds are in their fresh breeding plumage. Our own BWA events are spread throughout the year. They usually include visits and activities not normally open to the public. Admission to BWA events is by ticket only.
Contact details are included for you to check the accuracy of the dates of the events. Please check before setting out.
