The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC)
Official partner of The Stalking Show
BASC is proud to be the official partner of The Stalking Show for 2026. The partnership reflects a mutual focus on sustainable deer management, best practice and practical knowledge for those involved in the sector.
BASC will have a strong presence at the show, with two large, interactive stands. The main stand will focus on membership services, firearms advice and venison processing, while the other will be dedicated to training and education for deer managers – both recreational and professional. Visitors will be able to test their knowledge through a mock DSC1 module and find out more about the courses we offer.
BASC will be holding activities and debates on the stage in Bingley Hall, where our head of deer and woodland management, Martin Edwards, will deliver a programme of talks and demonstrations all weekend. These include head measuring and butchery demos, as well as panel discussions on key topics such as the future of deer management, firearms and alternatives to lead ammunition. BASC will feature on the second stage throughout the show, too.
In addition, BASC is delighted to sponsor the Really Wild Kitchen at The Stalking Show, showcasing how easy it is to prepare and cook venison at home.
With activities planned across multiple areas of the show, we encourage you all to come and see our teams during the weekend.
