The National Shooting Show is pleased to operate a scheme to provide one complimentary entry ticket for any adult unable to attend The Northern Shooting Show unaided. Visit the Box Office at the entrance to the event on arrival with the supporting documentation.

If you require a free Carer/PA ticket in order to attend The National Shooting Show please purchase a standard ticket at the relevant price in advance. Please make your way to The National Shooting Show and come to the Ticket Resolution/Customer Service Desk adjacent to the entrance where your Carer/PA ticket will be issued and you will have fast track entry. Please do not queue at the on-day sales points as they are not able to issue the free Carer/PA ticket.
This facility is designed to allow any adult that is unable to otherwise attend The National Shooting Show to have free access for their Carer or Personal Assistant. We are afraid the carer scheme does not extend to children as they must be accompanied by an adult to attend The National Shooting Show.
