Beef Expo

Beef Expo, which is the largest technical beef event in the UK, will be a celebration of the British Beef Industry.

The National Beef Association (NBA) is delighted to announce that their flagship biannual event, NBA Beef Expo is to be hosted by the country’s biggest town centre livestock mart in Melton Mowbray on Saturday, 30th May 2026.

Under the banner of ‘Beefing Up Food Security’, Beef Expo’s ultra-competitive show classes in the National Commercial Cattle Show will once again put the very best of the UK’s commercial beef on display, and a programme of expert seminars and discussions will focus on the strategies required to drive the industry through its current challenges to a sustainable future.

As well as celebrating the UK’s world class beef industry, the one-day event will aim to raise public and political awareness of the potentially disastrous threats to the country’s beef supply chain, says NBA Chief Executive, Neil Shand: “We are at a critical juncture for beef production in the UK, whether it’s suckler or dairy bred beef.

"At Beef Expo, we will not hold back in pressing our politicians on the undeniable importance of supporting home-produced food. They continue to preach that food security is national security, yet we need to see tangible proof of this commitment."
