Tickets are now available for the 2027 edition of the National Equine Show which will be held at the NEC, Birmingham 27-28 February. This year, for the first time, a new Paddock Pass has been introduced for those who want to guarantee exclusive access to their favourite influencers.
This is the fifth year of the National Equine Show, an event that has grown year on year with more than 18,000 people attending the 2026 event. Staying true to the brand’s values of delivering excellent value, tickets provide access to two stages boasting over 30 talks, over 17 features across the show, 10 first come first served meet and greets, and unrivalled shopping too.
“We’re delighted to launch our box office for 2027, there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes,” said Liz Ormesher, Event Director for the National Equine Show. “In addition to the features that everyone knows and loves, we’ve introduced a new limited Paddock Pass as a direct response to feedback from the 2026 event. We’re excited to offer this and provide a more exclusive space for people to interact with their favourite influencers as well as entry into the huge £1000 prize as part of the Paddock Pass ticket.”
The Paddock Pass allows each holder to select one high profile meet and greet to attend with a guarantee that they will meet their hero. Influencers include Harlow Luna White, Esme Higgs, Megan Elphick, Demir, and Joe Ashman. If additional meet and greets are wanted, these are available to purchase separately.
“The Paddock Pass allows those who really want to meet specific influencers with a guarantee this will happen in a designated space,” said Liz. “We know how important these face-to-face opportunities are for some of our visitors, and so we’ve created a new way to do this.”
Adult weekend passes for the show cost £25 for both days and £15 for one with children up to 16 costing £5 and under 12s able to attend for free. The Paddock Pass is available as an add on for £25 for the first booked session, and £15 for each additional Paddock Pass purchased after.
