Shoot north for the show

Unmissable things to see and do at the Northern Shooting Show this May

Organisers are set to welcome 25,000 visitors to the annual Northern Shooting Show when it returns to the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 May. BASC members will enjoy complimentary entry and guest discounts on advance bookings and, new for 2023, there’s free parking for all courtesy of Browning. With the tagline “What’s a shooting show if you can’t pull the trigger?”, the hugely popular event will draw people from all over Britain as the nation celebrates the coronation of King Charles III.

Alongside have-a-go stands and demos focusing on clay shooting, airguns, rifles, gundogs, gunmaking and airsoft, the bucket-list event will showcase wares from hundreds of shooting and countryside-focused exhibitors from around the world, for a truly special shopping experience.

The EJ Churchill clay line

Award-winning shooting ground and gunmaker EJ Churchill will be running the clay line, offering clay shooting novices to seasoned experts alike a hands-on chance to get involved across the weekend. The EJ Churchill clay line is set to include havea-go stands, a 50-bird English Sporting competition, a 25-bird Sportrap competition and the Coronation Cup, which is a one-time, open-entry competition to commemorate the King’s coronation. The competition boasts a £1,000 cash prize for the High Gun and further generous cash prizes up for grabs for ladies, juniors and veterans.
