The Great British Shooting Show is tripling its stage line-up for 2027. Last year’s show had a single main stage, but next year’s event at the NEC Birmingham, from 12 to 14 February, will have three.

Alongside the main stage, rifle shooters and airgunners will each get a dedicated stage of their own, hosting chat show-style interviews with famous faces. Guests for the new stages are yet to be confirmed, but expect plenty of well-known names.

Who has appeared on the main stage before?

The main stage has already built a strong reputation for pulling in the crowds. Last year it drew packed audiences for Vinnie Jones, 28-times world clay shooting champion George Digweed and Olympic gold medallists Richard Faulds and Nathan Hales.

The rugby trio and the awards on Friday

On Friday afternoon, Mike Tindall, James Haskell and Alex Payne – the trio behind the podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby – take over the main stage for interviews with famous faces from television and the shooting world. All three are keen shots, so expect big laughs and real passion for the sport. Friday also sees the winners of the Great British Shooting Awards announced.

The show is open from 9am to 4pm on all three days. Book your tickets now at britishshootingshow.com
