Get ready for a weekend of fun and festivities at the Border Union Show, the premier event in both the Scottish Borders and Northumberland’s agricultural calendars. Taking place on the last Friday and Saturday of July, this annual extravaganza unfolds at the Borders Events Centre, nestled on the outskirts of the charming cobbled town of Kelso.
Step into a world of tradition and competition with over 500 open contests spanning horses, livestock, and industrial arts. Marvel at the prowess of participants as they showcase their finest breeds and craftsmanship. With approximately 200 trade stands, the show offers a cornucopia of goods ranging from farm supplies and machinery to trendy apparel and delectable food stalls.
Indulge your taste buds at the incredible Food Fair, boasting delicacies from across Scotland and beyond. Explore the Craft & Gift Marquee, a haven brimming with one-of-a-kind treasures and special mementos.
For the little ones, the children’s fun fair promises hours of excitement and entertainment, while catering outlets offer mouthwatering delights like crepes and the perennial favourite, burgers and chips. And let’s not forget the quintessential feature of any good agricultural show – the bars, where you can unwind and toast to the day’s festivities.
Whether you’re a seasoned farmer, a family looking for a memorable outing, or a visitor eager to immerse yourself in the rich agricultural heritage of the region, the Border Union Show guarantees an unforgettable experience for everyone. Mark your calendars and join us for a fantastic day out!
