The Turriff Show is set to return on Sunday 31 July and Monday 1 August 2022. This year, the show will host the National Highland Cattle Show, with entries opening in May and closing on Saturday 25 June.

Acknowledged as the biggest two-day agricultural show in Scotland, the Turiff Show attracts around 24,000 people, including those involved in farming, as well as many non-farming people who enjoy the show for its wide array of activities.

The show’s president, Alan Gaul, said: “We are honoured to host the National Highland Cattle Show and are anticipating many livestock entries from the length and breadth of the country. It will be a tremendous sight on the Monday afternoon, during the grand parade, when we see these incredible animals paraded in front of thousands of spectators.”

PATCH trophy

We’re delighted to announce that the 3rd biennial award of the PATCH trophy will be made at Turriff Show this year. This is presented to the ‘Best Animal’ at the National Show of Highland Cattle.

PATCH, founded in 2013, is the first Scottish-based charity committed exclusively to improving standards of palliative care in hospitals. It has raised and committed over £300,000 in such initiatives as financing specialist training of young doctors and nursing staff in many areas of the country and more broadly in raising public awareness of such an important but often neglected aspect of medicine.

Support by the Highland Cattle Society both at the inaugural charitable event in 2017 at Balnabroich Farm and at the Westmorland Show in 2019 has been hugely helpful.

Dr Pam Levack, PATCH medical director will be attending the Turriff Show to make this year's award.
