We are pleased to announce the highly anticipated third edition of the Warrendale Wagyu Conference, in partnership with the British Wagyu Breeders Association. Celebrate the ‘bright horizons’ of Wagyu farming with us as we explore an exciting future for the industry.
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.
The Itinerary
Day one of the conference will feature expert panel sessions and speakers from across the supply chain, offering insight and inspiration. And, of course, a chance to hear what the future holds for Warrendale.
End the day with an evening of good-old Scottish hospitality at our Gala Dinner (early bird rate of £60 per head). Expect great food, live music, and a special auction to raise money for our chosen charities, RABI and RSABI.
On Day 2, we will be heading to Kelloe Mains Farm (approximately 30-min drive) for a packed itinerary of workshops and masterclasses.
More details will be announced soon, but be sure to book your place now.
