Blacknose Beauties National Show & Sale 2026

Worth It

A visually distinctive national livestock event with unusually broad family appeal. Do not confuse exhibitor entry fees with visitor admission.

Blacknose Beauties 2026 is a two-day Valais Blacknose National Show & Sale at H&H Borderway Mart, Rosehill, Carlisle CA1 2RS. Friday 21 August features grading and show activity; Saturday 22 August features grading, show and the national sale. Discover Carlisle lists public visitor entry as free. The £35 grading/show and £25 sale-entry fees shown by the Society are exhibitor fees, not admission prices. The Society has named graders Romeo Eggel, Baptist Eggel, Phillip Millius and Richard Zeiter, with Marita Tauni and Raymond Irvine hosting. Championship classes, young handlers, trade stands and a Friday social gathering/charity raffle also form part of the wider programme. Detailed public timings can change; check the official BB26 timetable before travelling.
