The Great British Shooting Show, taking place from 13 -15 February 2026, marks the start of the show season for BASC and remains one of the key dates in our calendar.
Always well supported by BASC members, The Great British Shooting Show provides an opportunity for us to engage directly with the shooting community and offer advice and guidance face-to-face thanks to our experts attending the show. It also allows you the opportunity to catch up on the latest of BASC’s work to represent shooters across the UK.
BASC Central director Lewis Thornley said: “BASC will have a strong presence at the show, as ever, which will include staff from our membership, regional and firearms teams. You can also join or renew your membership on our stand, plus find out more about our products and services and have all your questions answered.”
The British Shooting Show marks the beginning of a busy programme of shows, fairs and countryside events for BASC in 2026. Our teams are looking forward to meeting lots of our members over the coming months; find out more about where we will be and when on our events page here.
