The Venue

This time, we are heading to the Borders Union Agricultural Showground in Kelso, home of the world-renowned Kelso Ram Sales. Instead of a conventional hotel venue, we have deliberately chosen a setting rooted in agricultural heritage. The showground gives us space to transform the site into a Wagyu showcase, complete with an exhibitor hub and indoor seminar stage.

Overlooking the River Tweed, the showground is a short walk from the cobbled streets of Kelso, with plenty of eateries and pubs, and the magnificent Floors Castle.
