Border Union Show 2026

Held on the last Friday and Saturday of July at Springwood Park on the outskirts of the historic market town of Kelso, the Border Union Show is the highlight of the rural event calendar for the Scottish Borders and Northumberland.

The Show is a traditional agricultural event with over 500 open competitions for horses, livestock and industrial arts.

The event offers a range of food and shopping outlets with over 200 trade stands representing everything from tractors to dog treats, clothing, craft and gifts. The highly acclaimed Food Fair welcomes producers from Scotland and further afield, proudly offering live cookery demonstrations showcasing the very best of local ingredients.

With family friendly attractions, a fun fair, tempting treats, and the odd bar or two, there is something for everyone at the Border Union Show.

This is a two day event, running from 24th July – 25th July 2026.
