As a leading Agricultural Show, we have been carefully monitoring the guidance given by APHA in regard to Bluetongue and, as it stands, we will go ahead as planned to hold all livestock classes. However, if there are any changes, we will contact exhibitors. Exhibitors should be aware of and always conform to the regulations in place by DEFRA. A refund will be issued to an exhibitor should DEFRA regulations prevent the exhibitor from attending the Show after they have placed their entries. Exhibitors in Scotland and Wales should adhere to guidance given by devolved government bodies. It is important to note that any changes to the movement or testing of animals is not the responsibility of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association. Please be aware that any changes to the movement or testing requirements will be governed by DEFRA/APHA.
