The BKKS National Koi Show

National Show 2025 - Exhibitor Vat Bookings.

Our Show Committee met this evening, and a key takeaway was the marked increase we are seeing in interest for show vat bookings this year.

As most of you know, show vats are usually released around the Easter Weekend, on a first come first served basis, and via our online Shop (bkks.co.uk).

Feel free to let others know if you are asked!

We’ll confirm the actual date bookings will open, on the back of February’s show committee meeting (12th Feb) - there was a fair bit else to cover tonight.

Once confirmed, dates will be widely shared to previous exhibitors and members via email, and of course on our socials.

In the meantime, check out the website for show dates, and other information should you need it.

Many thanks,

Rob Whittell
Benching Admin & Exhibitor Rep.

As 2024 draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on what the has been achieved over the last few years and how we can continue to grow and develop the National Show.

Plans are already underway for the 45th National in June 2025, so keep an eye on this page as we make announcements over the coming months!!

Whatever your plans are for the Christmas period, perhaps heading out to visit a dealer, making a few tweaks to your pond or just spending time with friends and family, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year on behalf of the National Koi Show Committee.

Matt Stevens,
National Koi Show Chair.

Congratulations! I've shot this koi a few times over the years as she picked up 'best in class' etc and now she's finally nailed BNGS too - she didn't give up! Apologies for the delay with the full list, I'm currently away on holiday and waiting on a few details to come back to me. Keep those eyes peeled tomorrow! 🏆
