This year’s UK Sausage Week activity will begin on Monday 26th October with an exclusive lunch and awards ceremony at Butchers’ Hall, London.
Retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and foodservice are gearing up for this year’s UK Sausage Week, which will run from Monday 26th October until Sunday 1st November 2026.
The premier initiative celebrating one of the public’s favourite meal-time staples will kick off with a celebratory event held at Butchers’ Hall in London on the Monday, when awards will be presented to the winners of the annual UK Sausage Week competition.
This will include the crowning of the UK Supreme Sausage Champion, a title awarded to a winning sausage deemed by the UKSW judging panel to be of exceptional quality, taste and succulence. The UK Supreme Sausage Champion is selected from the winners of each competition category.
Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Meat Management magazine, which organises UK Sausage Week, commented: “We are really looking forward to welcoming colleagues and associates to Butchers’ Hall to celebrate the fantastic products that have been entered into this year’s competition. As always the judges had a challenging job evaluating the many hundreds of products sent in, all of which were cooked fresh and judged using a strict criteria.
“We will certainly kick off UK Sausage Week celebrations in style, and I’m also eager to see what sausage-themed activities retailers and manufacturers get up to during the week.
“With more and more consumers wanting new ideas, convenience and variety, it’s fantastic to see so many different versions of the British banger available - I’m sure we will enjoy an excellent occasion at the sell-out lunch event on Monday.”
