You really can’t knock the UK when it comes to our passion for British food. Those in the industry and everyday consumers alike are fiercely proud of the produce that comes from these shores. Not to mention, the kinds of delicacies that nobody on Earth does better than we do.
Nowadays in particular, the importance of buying British and celebrating our heritage is something more people are getting into than ever before. So if you’re looking for the perfect way of promoting your products, why not get on board with a few upcoming events?
And just to make life that little bit easier for you, we’ve picked out five of our favourites you might like to check out:

What better time to promote your burger meats, not to mention your own speciality burgers?

Promote this event in your butcher’s shop and watch your lamb products fly out the door!
