BASC members to get in free to NSS

As the cost of living soars, a very timely and welcome offer is being made by BASC and National Game Fair Ltd, the new owners of the Northern Shooting Show. In combination, the two organisations have agreed to waive the price of admission to the Northern Shooting Show for all BASC members.

For the 2022 Northern Shooting Show and for the next three years, BASC members will have complimentary entry to the show and will also benefit from special rates for their guests—this is against the background of existing free parking and free show guide. The move is expected to catapult the show to a leading position in the UK. Already the trade is lining up to provide a spectacular showcase at the indoor and outdoor venue. The announcement comes shortly after it was confirmed that Stable Events (organisers of the Game Fair and GWCT Scottish Game Fair) acquired the show for an undisclosed sum last month.

The Northern Shooting Show will take place for the fifth time from May 7-8 at the Yorkshire Event Centre. The two-day event expects to welcome around 20,000 shooting enthusiasts this year.

James Gower, MD of Stable Events, said: “With hard-working families making difficult decisions about their spending, this unprecedented offer to BASC and their members, and their subsequent acceptance, shows commitment to the industry and shooting communities so they can continue to enjoy their passion. We expect attendance to now rocket, which will be great for exhibitors. BASC members can now enjoy an incredible day out and spend their money on their sport rather than entry tickets.”
