Events

Waterfowl magazine is our premier method of keeping in touch with members. Our high quality full-colour magazine is sent to all members three times a year. With content relating to every aspect of waterfowl, we bring together the best for you to enjoy.

Bringing our members together at open days is an important part of our activities. Visits to member collections give you the chance to see venues that are not normally open to the public. Workshops and practical demonstrations have taken place all over the country. Fundraising to support our conservation and educational activities takes place throughout the year.

Our flagship event for exhibition birds is the Champion Waterfowl Exhibition, normally held on the first Sunday in November. It’s an excellent opportunity to see the wide variety of domestic duck and goose breeds available. Meet fellow enthusiasts, breeders and judges to get the best advice about top quality waterfowl. 

The 33rd Champion Waterfowl Exhibition 2021 was held at the Stratford Park Leisure Centre on Sunday 7th November and was a very successful event. 

Shows are held during the autumn and winter months. Birds are looking their best in fresh breeding plumage. They also travel better in cooler weather. 

The BWA runs the Exhibitor of the Year scheme for all domestic waterfowl breeds. Shows around the country are included and points gained accumulate towards the overall best exhibitor for each breed.

Our next event:

Autumn Open Day: Saturday 9th September 2023 at Lotherton in West Yorkshire and for those staying over, the plan will be to gather at a local nature reserve on the Sunday for a walk.
