The BHW Show of the Year
The British Homing World Show of the Year is a two-day event held every January at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, attracting around 15,000 visitors. It is the highlight of the year for pigeon fanciers, who come from all over the world to show their birds as part of a historic community celebration.
Each year we have over 100 trade stands, charity pigeon auctions and raffles, as well as the showing and judging of over 2,000 of the top homing pigeons in the UK.
2026 will be our 50th Show at Blackpool, and of course we will be celebrating the event – come back regularly for further news as it develops.
