NSA North Sheep 2027 Opens Trade Stand Bookings

National Sheep Association (NSA) is inviting businesses and organisations from across the agricultural sector to secure their place at NSA North Sheep 2027, with trade stand applications now open for the major industry event.

NSA North Sheep 2027 will take place at Marriforth Farm, Thornton Steward, Wensleydale, on Wednesday 2nd June 2027, kindly hosted by the Fairburn family. 

Trade stands are a central part of NSA North Sheep, bringing the wider agricultural industry and sheep producers together and providing an important opportunity to showcase products, services and new developments. More than 240 trade stands attended NSA North Sheep 2025, demonstrating the breadth and diversity of the agricultural sector represented at the biennial event.

A range of indoor and outdoor trade stand spaces are available for 2027, welcoming businesses from across the agricultural sector, including animal health, nutrition, genetics, machinery, technology, equipment and rural services.

Applications are now being accepted, with businesses encouraged to book early. The closing date for trade stand applications is Friday 12th February 2027.

Chris Adamson, NSA North Sheep Event Organiser says: “Trade stands are an important part of NSA North Sheep and help create the lively, informative atmosphere the event is known for. NSA North Sheep provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to meet sheep producers face-to-face, demonstrate products and services and be part of the conversations taking place across the industry. We are looking forward to welcoming both returning exhibitors and businesses joining NSA North Sheep for the first time in June.”

Marriforth Farm provides an impressive setting for the event in the heart of a thriving livestock farming area. The multi-generational farming business includes 460 acres of owned land, 750 acres of rented ground and almost 3,000 acres of rough grazing, running around 3,500 breeding ewes across Swaledale, Mule and pedigree flocks. 

Alongside the extensive trade exhibition, NSA North Sheep 2027 will bring together livestock, practical demonstrations and industry expertise, showcasing the strength and diversity of the sheep sector. The event will also provide opportunities to share knowledge, explore new ideas and meet businesses and organisations working throughout the industry.

The event's Yorkshire setting places it at the centre of a strong livestock farming region, with support from agricultural businesses across the north of England. 

Businesses and organisations interested in exhibiting are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible.
