The Great British Shooting Show 2026 is just around the corner, and it’s a key date in the diary for anyone serious about their shooting. The show runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 February 2026 at the NEC in Birmingham, filling halls 6 – 9, with doors open from 9am to 4pm each day.

Billed as the UK’s largest retail shooting show, it brings together more than 2,000 brands under one roof, with full backing from leading manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. That means it’s not just a browsing exercise: it’s a genuine chance to handle new kit, compare options side by side, and speak directly with the people behind the products.

For anyone planning a visit, the official show guide (the 2025 edition is live at the time of writing) gives a useful feel for the layout, the range of exhibitors, and what to expect on the day. There’s also a growing library of “Gun Review” videos and online content linked to the show, plus regular updates via email, social channels, and a WhatsApp channel dedicated to show news and shooting chat.

The event is also supported by a strong line‑up of BSS Brand Ambassadors, including Jonny Carter, Mat Manning, Jean‑Paul Gaudin, Lloyd Pattison, Russ Douglas, Dave Carrie, and Chris Parkin, all of whom are active in the shooting community and online. Whether you are looking for your next gun, testing optics, or just soaking up the atmosphere, the British Shooting Show remains one of the best opportunities in the year to immerse yourself in all things shooting.
