Welcome to the British Alpaca Society National Show

The BAS National Show is one of the largest and most prestigious alpaca shows in the world, with over 500 alpacas in the Halter Show, the winners of regional shows competing in the Champion of Champions Fleece Show and the Fibre Zone showcasing alpaca products. For 2025 we were at the Staffordshire County Showground for the first time – we were wonderfully well looked after and a great time was had by all!

Just a few of the many photos taken by Ingrid Weel Photography are shown in the gallery below. If you’d like to visit and purchase photos, the full digital gallery is available here
