Organisers of BETA International have announced new dates for the 2021 show. The leading trade buying and business event for the equestrian, pet and country sectors will now take place from Thursday, September 9 to Saturday, September 11.

The decision to postpone the show follows government restrictions, which had left BETA International’s original January dates no longer an option.

Show organiser Claire Thomas said: “We are extremely pleased that we have been able to secure a new timeline for 2021. Things are challenging for us all right now, making it even more important than ever that our industry’s key buying and networking show is open for business.

“It will run across Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which is slightly different from usual, but our exciting plans for BETA International to make its début appearance at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, remain as before. We have the support of our exhibitors and sponsors, and it’s very much all systems go.”

Ms Thomas added: “I am confident that the show is exactly what is needed, and we are looking forward to extending a warm welcome to everyone.”
