30 The Stalking Show isn't just an event, it's a community gathering.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The countdown to the Stalking Show 2024 has begun, and this exclusive preview with show organizer David Freer reveals why this rapidly growing event has become the unmissable gathering for the UK hunting community.
Born from late-night conversations in a Scottish pub about the decline of specialized hunting exhibitions, the Stalking Show has evolved from a passion project into the premier dedicated stalking event in Britain. As David explains, what started three years ago with 94 exhibitor stands has exploded to 246 for the upcoming April 13-14 event at Staffordshire County Showground.
Unlike broader country shows where hunting vendors get lost among hot tubs and window salespeople, the Stalking Show maintains a laser focus on hunting and stalking through a strict vetting process. Every stand must demonstrate clear relevance to the hunting world, creating an immersive experience where visitors can engage meaningfully with every exhibitor they encounter.
The 2024 show features several exciting expansions, including a dramatically enhanced deer calling competition with Harkila sponsorship and prizes including Leupold scopes, Swarovski binoculars, and thermal imaging equipment. The Really Wild Kitchen returns with Jose Suto and Rachel Green hosting butchery competitions featuring thousands of pounds in prizes. A Scottish piper from the Isle of Skye will add traditional flair, opening both the show and the deer calling competition.
For visitors, the Stalking Show offers an unbeatable weekend experience. With tickets priced at just £15 online (£5 less than at the door), free parking, and exhibitors encouraged to offer genuine show deals, it's a rare opportunity to combine premium shopping, learning opportunities, competitions, and community connections. The event attracts attendees from across the UK and Ireland, many making a full weekend of it to ensure they don't miss anything.
Want a chance to win some incredible prizes? Find me at the show to enter our exclusive competition featuring stag stalking, Richie Nanks knives, a Deer Central three-point leather sling, Katie Hargreaves' deer species book, or an Outdoor Gibbon beanie.
Mark your calendar for April 13-14, grab your tickets online, and join the UK's most passionate stalkers and hunters for a weekend that celebrates the best of our community!

Introduction and Competition Announcement
Speaker 3Hello and welcome to the Outdoor Gibbon Podcast, episode 30, the stalking show sneak peek. The stalking show is almost three weeks away. I think it could well be less, and I thought what I'd do is I would bring you a little podcast, a very short one, that we actually get to chat to David Freer, who is the event organizer, and we kind of find out a bit of history about the show, why it came into being, what you can expect to see when you get to the show. But before we get into that, I've got a little tiny competition we're actually going to run at the Stalking Show. So this little tiny competition works in the following way you will find me either on a stand at the stalking show or if you bump into me around the show. I need off you your name, email address and phone number, will enter it into my tablet and it will give you a number. We will randomly select five numbers at the end, probably on sunday night, if not monday, and we will let you know if you've won.
Speaker 3So what are the prizes that you could win? Well, prize number one is stag stalking in the angus glens up at wells sporting, and you will be taken guided on the hill by myself. Prize number two I must say thank you to richie nanks knives. He's giving us a pair, or giving the winner a pair, of his naked knives, a set of them. So I think that's the knife and the little unzipper num. Prize number three massive thank you again to Ben at Deer Central. He is giving a prize there of one of his three-point leather slings. Really nice piece of kit to have. Number four again, thank you very much to the very talented Katie Hargreaves. She is giving us, I believe, one of the books of the species of deer from the UK. And prize number five you get the chance to win one of the outdoor gibbon beanies.
Speaker 3So again, to enter that, you just need to find me at the show, give me your name, address and email. We'll enter it into the system. It will give you a number. You can enter yourself, your friends, but it has to be at the show. There's not going to be an opportunity, otherwise it's purely for the people that come to the show. We will draw the numbers and we will get in contact with the five winners and then hopefully somebody will get an absolutely fantastic, fantastic prize from that.
Speaker 3So if you know somebody that was umming and ahhing about coming to the show. Make them come along. It's only 15 quid if you buy your tickets now, as david explains later on in the podcast, and there's some great opportunities as well as, obviously, my little competition there that's free to enter. There are some other fantastic competitions running throughout the show. I won't tell you any more about it. We will listen to David now, who is going to explain all about the Stalking Show and some of the things that you have a chance of winning. Anyway, let's get on with it. Just one quick disclaimer obviously, this is the Stalking Show in 2024. If you are listening to this in 2025, things will be very different and the show may be very different again, but this is the 2024 stalking show.
Speaker 3Hello and welcome to the Outdoor Gibbon podcast. Today on the show we have got David Freer. He is the event organiser of the Stalking Show. How are you doing, david?
Speaker 2Yes, hello Peter. Good evening. Yes, very well, thanks, mate. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 3Excellent, no problem at all. Well, I thought this would be kind of a good show to actually basically give people a bit of information as to what they would expect to find at the Stalking Show. But I think what we really need to talk about first is let's talk about how the Stalking show actually came into being. How did you kind of come up with the idea?
Speaker 2um, I suppose I had a little bit of a head start. Uh, really, for the simple reason, um, my past life, throughout, throughout most of my life, I've been involved in events of some description or another. So, uh, for 30 years now, I've been organising various events. It might be a Sunday market, we've organised supercar shows and classic car shows and a number of different events over the years. So I had a kind of a little bit of a head start with that, and I think, I suppose to tell you the absolute truth, covid, the dreaded COVID word. It broke out in very early 2020.
Speaker 2Right, yeah, deanne and I, my wife Deanne and I were commuting between Scotland and Leicestershire, where we lived at that time, and the business was then completely, basically finished or wiped out overnight because events as you uh were and uh were unable to happen.
Speaker 2So, uh, so we were, we were kind of taking a little bit of a rain check on life, uh, in general and anyway, cut a long story short, we, um, we, we decided to move where we, where, where we've had big connections for many, many years.
Speaker 2We moved to argyle in west scotland in 2020, early 2020, um and um, and we, we were in our local uh pub, if you're right like down the road speaking with a very good friend of ours, carl and sandra, and uh, he's a big shooting man, I'm a big shooting man, the whole. All four of us are really connected with uh, you know, outdoor stalking, shooting dogs and all the rest of it, and we uh probably grumbling about the old days, like probably a lot of us does, about how shows used to be when we used to go to and I won't name any names when we used to go to some of the shows you'd spend probably two days down, gun makers row and things like that, and I can see you yeah, yeah, no, absolutely tend to agree and, um, we, um, we were just sitting there grumbling one night about some of, uh, you know what we liked and what we used to enjoy and how things have changed.
Speaker 2And you know, rightly or wrongly, things have changed for a lot of the shows, and a lot of the shows now are more, I would say, country shows. That's right, but they do have. You know, there's a very, very big, varied amount of exhibitors and what have you, and exhibitors and visitors that come to the show, which is great, there's nothing wrong with that. But the shows that you and I used to enjoy when we grew up in the 80s and the 90s have somewhat changed. So, to cut a long story short, we all looked at each other and said, well, let's do our own show, let's do a show that we want and we enjoy and what we think other people will enjoy. And that is honestly how the stalking show was born. We sat there in the Coilet pub, just down the road from me, with friends and said we all looked at each other and said, yeah, let's do a stalking show. And we spent the next probably four months, five, six months, in and out of the pub every night We'd have a drink, sit there around the big table, and we were just literally writing out plans of what we would want and what we would like and how it should, should operate and run and what would what within. You know what we'd bring to the show, what sections we wanted to cover, because there's so much that you can, you know, you can go. Yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker 2And, and that was really where the stalking show was born and we just kept the ball rolling and really did, you know, as it gathered momentum, we went to several different venues and we started actually off at one venue and we quickly learned that the venue that we decided we were going to go to just wasn't going to be adequate because of the interest that was immediately coming in.
Growing Pains and Venue Selection
Speaker 2And we thought, hang on, a minute, this is, you know, we were only like six months in and then realized that we've outgrown a venue before we'd even tried it. Fantastic, and that really is the truth. So we went to, we went to two or three others which, uh, we went to um, I think it was peterborough showground. We went to stonely where, where other shows have been, uh, we went to um, various others, and we settled on staffordshire county showground right in the middle of the country, really just off the M6, and a great location. We liked that very rural feel to it. It's, you know, the Stillhold County Showground, county shows there and they have a lot of rural stuff around there. So we just liked that and it was midway between the north and the south.
Speaker 3Well, it work, the park, because this is obviously this will be my third year of coming, so I've been to all of them and I've always found there's never been an issue with parking. It's great. You're actually you're not walking miles and you've not kind of got to get on some sort of um bus or even pay for the parking that's. That's another really nice one.
Speaker 2There's no charge for parking, which is great no, well, just touching on that, do you know what, um, the uh, staffordshire county showground actually have a policy written in the contract that, uh, car parking charges are, uh, are not allowed. We could, we can, we can offer a vip parking which is like, and I mean literally right up front, but we can't, we can't, actually, no, nobody can charge for the parking, so that well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3I'll tell you something last year I was in a in a van because obviously my pickup had broken and I remember coming through the gate and the guy obviously thought that I was either an exhibitor or a VIP. So I had VIP parking right next to a police car, right literally on the path at the front.
Speaker 2I've never parked as close to the door as possible and it sounds like you got it for free as well oh, I had.
Speaker 3I had my VIP parking for free, so obviously I didn't have to pay for that. So there you go. Don't charge me now, but yeah, it was. Uh, the guy just said there you go, right, okay.
Speaker 2Well, yes, it's all. We like everything to be very, very free and easy at the stalking show. There's no, there's no. We don't want anybody to be, you know, upset or anything, so everything has to be nice and easy.
Speaker 3So obviously it's. This is its third year and I'm assuming because of, because it's its third year, what it's growing in size. I believe you've moved. You were in one or two halls last year. I think you're moving up into three this time, is it?
Speaker 2well, yes, actually, um, yeah, well, well, to get to put it into some perspective, uh, pete, um. Uh, year one we had uh taken every exhibitor in uh in into the count. We had 94, I think 94, I was 95 uh exhibitor stands in total. That's the. That's the super big ones and the very little ones. Uh, for for um, for 2024, in four weeks time we will, or in a few weeks time we will have 246 stands uh, that's, that's a certainly a growth, isn't it?
Speaker 3and that just goes to show that people obviously want to want to be there and come to the show well, sadly as well.
Speaker 2Um, well, not sadly, it isn't sad, it's, it's a good, it's good, um, it's good for us. Uh, we've, we've turned, uh, we have a waiting list list and we've actually turned quite a few down because we don't want to grow the show too quickly. We want to make sure that we vet Every stand that comes to. The stalking show is vetted. Honestly, you will not, and you've been to every one, so you will stand by what I say. You will not see. You've been to everyone, so you will. You will stand by what I say. You will not see. Uh, and I've nothing against them, because I love a good hot tub, but you won't see hot tubs. You, you won't see um upvc windows, um pillowcases or wicker baskets or anything else. That doesn't fit what what I'm saying is on the tin.
Speaker 2It's a stalking show, it's hunting, stalking. You know we do. You know we branch out into, obviously, food and various things and butchery equipment, but it does have to have a link with what the show is all about. So you know, we get a number of um exhibitors ringing us up can we bring this, can we bring that? And we just simply say to them straight away yeah, fine. Can we have your website details? Let's have a look at that. What are you bringing to the show? And if it doesn't fit, I'm so very sorry.
Speaker 3Um, it's not for us and that's how we operate but I think that's great because, as you say, at least the show, then, is dedicated to what people are going there for.
Speaker 3People want to go to a show and they want to walk around and they want to look at a gun maker or they want to buy some clothing, or they want to talk to some guy that sells some targets or some, um, some other bits, or they they want a knife or something like that and they don't want to be trawling through a guy that's trying to sell them a plumbing fit in and a upvc window and a hot tub. And and, unfortunately, I've been to shows and I was helping a friend out of the show and we got lost. We got pushed to the end of his store, got pushed to the end of, like gun makers row, and we weren't getting the throughput, we weren't getting the traffic we should be getting, because people didn't want to go down that, because the rest of the stands that were there and it's just one of those it's quite it's a disappointing situation to be in, whereas obviously, yeah, if you vetted, everybody and the people that are coming are dedicated to, to the, the hunting world. Let's just say it's ideal, isn't it?
Exhibition Quality and Selection Process
Speaker 2yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. And and it takes me back to our opening words uh, when, when you asked me about, uh, you know where did the stalking show come from? And you know, I, I, I always put myself in the visitor. Uh, that you know, the, the, the average guy like I was many years ago walking around what I wanted to see, and, uh, if I walk around my show and I and I walk down a row, let's say, and, uh, half the half the exhibitors down there I am not interested in, slightly, then I'm doing my job wrong. There's something wrong. So, because I want, uh, I, I would like all all our visitors to walk down a row and every stand they go to, at least spend a few minutes just looking at what it is.
Speaker 2There is certainly a wide variety of what we have. The show is not just about ammo and guns and rifles. It certainly isn't. There's all a manner of things, you know. There's all the clothing, various clothing. We have a lot for ladies, we have some really superb artists there, and and so on, and uh, yeah, you know, uh, so, but but as long as, as long as it, it fits what the show's about, then then you're welcome so is there anything different and exciting that's coming up this year that we haven't seen over the last two years?
Speaker 2um, I, I, every, every year, we know we finish this year, we finish the show, and then we come away and we think, right, we always look at the bits that didn't quite either work or or where we want to introduce something else, and, uh, and, and we, the show is still very, very young and and we've got lots we want to bring in over the next few years. Um, and simple answer to your question, pete yes, definitely, um, and we try and bring something uh that's that's very special to the show each year. Or, equally, grow on something, grow something that's gone very well. So, for instance, give you an example I had this crazy idea last year that we're going to do a deer calling competition. I've seen it done in some of the american shows where you put, you know you can put it into usual. You see these guys all dressed up, doing fancy pulls of elk and various things, and then they I also know it's very big um uh on the continent with our, with our european friends. They literally come from all over Europe to go to some of the shows doing deer calling. So why not have it in the UK? So I tested, we wanted to test the water last year, so we brought it.
Speaker 2We got some wonderful prizes. I don't know whether you remembered, whether you saw it, but we had Peter from Swarovski, or Swarovski gave us a lovely pair of binoculars and we had a? Um, uh, thomas jacks gave us a really nice, uh, thermal imaging, uh, spotting, spot, a spot. Yeah. So we had, we had these two fantastic prizes.
Speaker 2Um, we had this deer calling competition. It was a little bit thrown together like right, okay, we had Scott McKenzie from the Isle of Skye, the gamekeeper, and we had Rob Crampton from Best Fox Call, two great guys to do the job, and we just literally invited people up, as you saw, to come and do their own deer call, whether it was a stag, a, a buck or a seeker stag, whichever it may be. And, and we had, we had the most wonderful hour or so on each day. Uh, a young boy of I think he was eight or nine won the thermal and the, and, and a guy won the, the binoculars, the next day.
Speaker 2Well, it was so successful, we received so many great comments and everybody sitting there with a beer in the hand having a laugh, pushing the mate up go on, go on, have a go and it sort of rolled on a little bit. I didn't see you have a go, unfortunately, but I have been told that you're pretty keen to have a go this year. But we'll put that on the shelf to one for one minute.
Speaker 3Well, we'll see, we'll see. I'm a bit rusty on my seeker calls, but I can, uh, I might, uh might have a go.
New Attractions for 2024
Speaker 2You never know brilliant depends how busy I am with other things yeah, but um so, so, uh, in total answer to your question, yes, we've got the. We've expanded very much on the Deer Calling competition. Harkila have actually sponsored the whole thing, so they've given over. You can't see them, but just over there on our other table they've just sent me a heap of really nice jackets. We've got a ladies, a gents and a youngsters jacket as well. Oh, fantastic. So there'll be three winners on the Saturday and three winners on the Sunday. So, lady, gent and a younger person, we've got some fabulous prizes. We've got Leupold scopes. We've got some fabulous prizes. We've got Leupold scopes. We've got infrared thermals, we've got another pair of Swarovski binoculars. We've got ember leaf knives. So we're going to be giving all these away with Harkila clothing at the Deer Calling competition. So we're expanding massively on that. Yeah, and that's going to be live streamed onto a huge five-meter screen. So if you're standing on the balcony or wherever you can watch the deer calling competition, I'll let you into a small secret. We've got a Scottish piper. So we've got a fantastic Scottish piper coming down from the Isle of Skye. He's going to open the show, which will be lovely, just a nice touch and he will also open the deer calling competition. So when you hear the piper at one o'clock midday or one o'clock lunchtime, that will be the time for the deer coring competition.
Speaker 2Other things that are going on we've expanded in the dog ring. We've got a, a tackle show this year that we didn't have last year, organized by tackle tackles work, and Mark Inge is organizing that and I and I believe he's doing a fantastic job. And there are other um uh. There are other um dog uh groups there as well the hungarian white haired vizlers and german white hares, uh, bavarian mountain house and cawthorn griffins. So we've got quite a few dogs. So we're expanding on that um and I think another highlight I'll just quickly touch on uh in the really wild kitchen. So in our kitchen theater with jose suto and rachel green, we've got another great competition um, that jose's uh. Jose and rachel are hosting and it's a very, very simple one but it's very, very important and it will be the breakdown. So we're inviting anybody that wants to have a go to literally send me an email, register their name, tell me who you are.
Speaker 2We're going to have two heats on the Saturday and two heats on the Sunday. Only five in each, so 10 o'clock and two o'clock on each day. You're not going to be up against the clock or anything like that. It's a simple muntjac haunch. You'll have a fresh muntjac haunch. You'll be asked to butcher them, break them down into the different muscles, um set them out on a board. As simple as that. There's no time, no, nothing. Just do it the way you do it and jose and rachel will judge it. And again, I I kid you, not peter we have the most off thethe-scale prizes. We've got thousands of pounds of prizes to give away. We've got Scopes Stynoscope with a range finder as first prize, which is about two grand on deal. We've got a set of knives from Flint and Flame. They're professional knives and I must say that Flint and Flame are sponsoring this particular part of the show, so they're staging. We've got more prizes as well.
Speaker 3So it looks as though basically everybody that's going to come to the Stalking set there's a good chance that you're going to come. If you want to enter into something, there's going good chance that you're going to come if, if you want to enter into something, there's going to be a good chance that, yeah, you've got good odds of actually winning something. Yes, I, I, yeah, yeah, and I think jose's um, there's a video, I think. Uh, alex from the hunter gatherers just popped a video up to to support this. So if anybody is listening to this and wants to find out about that, uh, that, um, that butchery competition, go and well, we'll put a link in the in the description, so you can go and find it. Go and have a look.
Speaker 3Jose explains everything, so that, uh, yeah, it's pretty straightforward. I've been practicing already. So, uh, I've got eight deer in the in the chiller at the moment and everyone. The haunch is being broken down. I would never normally do it, but it's been broken down beautifully Well, so, yeah, so we're getting our practice in there, but it sounds as though it's going to be a very busy and full day for anybody that comes and hopefully they're going to go either get a prize or they're going to go home. Fill in their shopping bags with some great kit that there's going to be loads of people selling there.
Speaker 2Fill in their shopping bags, with some with some great kit that there's going to be loads of people selling there. Yeah, yeah, again, uh, you know, I, I always sit down and look at what I want to see it to show. Um, and uh, yeah, touching on what you've just said, there, you alluded to uh shopping bags I speak to all our retailers and and I gently encourage them and the distributors to try and put the best deals they can on for something whatever they. You know, if it's harkila, if it's uh, uh, you know, if it's, if it's thomas jacks, then you know, and thermals, and various things.
Speaker 2And uh, uh, and I, I gently asked them all and say, look you, it's a show that we all, we all love, we all need to get involved in. And, you know, let's make it, let's make the stalking show something that we can all be proud of, everybody, and and and I asked them very kindly to try and do the best deals they can and so that uh, people, can, you know, our visitors can pick up something at the stalking show, uh, at a, at a real, very fair price. Um, well, I think that was the thing?
Prizes and Show Deals
Speaker 3show, show deals kind of died, didn't they? Uh, and over the last few years, and you used, you used to go to the show to get a good deal and there was always a way of like, what can you do for this and that? And you'd always used to be able to get something. Then the internet hours came along and everything was rock bottom. And, of course, a lot of the, the guys there at the shows. They didn't have the ability to give you a better price, but if, if you've asked them nicely and hopefully they're going to do that, then people will actually feel that they're actually there's a show deal to be had here. So it makes life. It's that little double bubble, isn't it really that everybody's happy that they've come along and they've gone away with something that they may not have got as good as off the internet yeah, yeah, you know, even if it's, even if it's just as simple, as you know, you can't buy it anywhere cheaper than at the stalking show.
Speaker 2If you know there may be something out there that you really want and you can shop around and you can't get it, you know, as long as you can't find it cheaper elsewhere, then I'm happy. And you know, and this is what you know, this is what I talk to with all the retailers and the distributors and just say, look, come on, guys, you support the show, but you've got to try and put something on. That is just a real great deal and gets everybody buzzed about coming to the show, and it can only be good for everybody.
Speaker 3Real great deal and, you know, gets everybody buzzed about coming to the show and, and yeah, you know, and it can only be good for everybody no, absolutely, and I think in this day and age, I think that that's the best bit and actually, to be honest, many of the people I've spoken to this. This show as well is one of those things where I think a lot of people come as well to actually catch up with people they haven't seen for a while. Um, and guys that the stalking community in the shooting community it's actually quite small really when you you pull it apart. So I think this is one of those points where you can get guys from like the north come and see their friends from the south, etc. Etc. So again, it's that place that you can all come and have a chat and it's a, it's a, it's a nice day out as well, really yeah, we're um, uh, we're very lucky.
Speaker 2As we said earlier, we're very centrally located um and uh on, we're selling tickets. I, you know, every time we sell a ticket it pings up on my phone and the only thing I ever want to look at is actually where the ticket is going. Right, all interested in and, and I've seen tickets going to the isle of sky. I've seen tickets going right up to the north, where you are. I've seen, you know several, you know lots of tickets, uh, to over the border and into scotland, which is great. I always love to see that.
Speaker 2Um, we've got, uh, we've sold a lot of tickets this year, more than more than the other two years. Uh, to southern ireland and ireland. Uh, we've had phone calls from I? Uh right down in the uh down in southern ireland asking us, asking me, whether whether they should buy a day ticket or a two-day ticket. And of course I, of course I say to them, no, you definitely need a two-day ticket. And of course, of course I say to them, no, you definitely need a two-day ticket. You're going to spend, you're going to spend a day talking to everybody and then you're going to spend a day looking at everything but that, that's how shows used to be, and it it's.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's one of those things. You go there and you probably end up sat there chatting away, or you'll get around half the show if you if you like to talk and suddenly realize, oh, it's closing now and I haven't seen everything.
Speaker 2So day two is you can cover the rest of it, but uh, oh, it's good, that's really good I don't, yeah, I don't, I don't think, uh, I don't think anybody's going to say now that, uh, the stalking show is, yeah, it's a nice show, but it's a small show, and I don't think, uh, if I was a visitor coming now for the first time and to walk around the stalking show, you're going to definitely need, you're going to just go and look at that in particular, get it underway.
Community Aspect and Attendance
Speaker 3That's fine, but if you're coming to look at everything that's there and chat to a few people, you're not going to do it in the day, especially if you want to sit down and watch one of the demonstrations or listen to somebody do something or watch the calling competition Again, time goes by and it goes by so quickly when you get there. It's amazing how fast the day actually flies by, really.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's not exactly, peter. You've got to allow an hour and a half to two hours now for the deer calling competition. If you want to see everybody get up and have a go. We've got Jose, as I said, and Rachel Green in the Really Wild Kitchen. They do wonderful things, jose, as you I'm sure you've seen. He breaks down, skins a wild boar in front of your very eyes, and I wouldn't like to do that, I have to say, because they are. You know, I have touched them. I've never skinned a wild boar, but I think it's like playing with a bar of soap.
Speaker 3It's not much fun, having done that big one that I took up in Inverness, yeah, and that was at 10 o'clock at night trying to get it back in the chiller. It wasn't much fun at all.
Speaker 2No, no, no. So watching Jose do that, and then he breaks it down on both Saturday and Sunday during the wild boar, you know, so that it does kill a lot of time very quickly. Yeah.
Speaker 3So what we'll do now is, if there's any, I think we've pretty much covered everything there. Let's just tell people, because obviously they can't see the picture that I'm looking at. So I'm looking at david sat there and behind him there's a great big sign. Just so you all know, the the stalking show is on the 13th and the 14th of april, so this podcast should hit the hit um release date of the end of the month, so which we're in march now, so you should hear this show on the 1st of april. So it gives you two weeks to get yourselves organized and decide that you're going to go to the stalking show. Get your tickets ordered. Can they buy tickets on the day?
Speaker 2yes, absolutely yes. But I would, um, I would strongly advise, peter, that people do buy their tickets online, because there's a five pound saving on every ticket. 15 pounds online, uh, youngsters, um, are five pounds don't ask me the ages I can't remember and then very, very little ones are free, of course, um, but then if you buy tickets on the day, it's 20 quid. So, uh, we still think everything's very, you know, we like to keep it reasonable as we can, but obviously, if you buy them online, there's £5 saving and that's a burger and a cup of tea at Stalking Show.
