The Great British Shooting Show is moving to bigger halls at the NEC Birmingham for 2027, giving visitors 25% more floor space to explore.

Which NEC halls will the show use in 2027?

The show, which takes place from 12 to 14 February 2027, is expanding from Halls 6, 7 and 8 into the newer, larger Halls 17, 18, 19 and 20. With exhibitors building bigger stands than ever, the extra space means more to see, handle and buy.

From Newark marquees to four heated halls

It is another milestone for an event that began life as a handful of chilly marquees in Newark and has grown into the UK’s largest shooting show. More than 2,000 brands will be under one roof across four heated halls, from shotgun, rifle and airgun makers to optics specialists, retailers and clothing brands.

Three stages and the return of Airgun City

There will also be three stages this time, with dedicated stages for rifle shooting and airgun shooting alongside the main stage. Airgun City returns, with 38 lanes run by six of the biggest names in airgunning, including BSA, Daystate, Weihrauch and Air Arms.

The show is open from 9am to 4pm on all three days, and free parking is included with every ticket. Allow at least a full day, and two if you can. Book at britishshootingshow.com
