The 45th annual BHW Show of the Year – the 40th to be held at Blackpool – is now less than two weeks away, taking place over the weekend of Saturday/Sunday 21st-22nd January.

The largest gathering of pigeon fanciers in the UK will descend on the Winter Gardens for the two-day event that has something for everyone, whether you are a veteran flyer, new member, or just curious about pigeons, from trade stands, talks, films and auctions, to the main event: the showing and judging of around 2000 of the top pigeons in the country.

The show is one of the largest in the world, regularly attracting around 25,000 visitors, and the profits are donated to a variety of charities.

To beat the queues on the day, tickets for the event itself and for the Gala Evening and RPRA Awards Presentation on the Saturday evening are still available to order in advance from RPRA HQ. Admission to the Show is £7 (Saturday) and £6 (Sunday), while Gala Evening tickets cost £15. Please either send a cheque (payable to Show of the Year) and SAE to The Reddings, Cheltenham, Glos GL51 6RN, or call us on 01452 858246 to pay by debit/credit card.
