Overview
Mark your calendars! This year’s Great British Beef Week (GBBW) launches on St George's Day - Tuesday, 23 April 2024.
Now in its 14th year, the seven-day campaign will celebrate the iconic flavours and versatility of British beef and the sustainable practices of beef farmers.
What is this GBBW?
GBBW, founded by Ladies in Beef (LiB), is a campaign uniting all sectors of the beef industry – farmers, retailers, butchers, farm shops, pubs, and restaurants – to celebrate the naturally delicious taste of British beef. It is an opportunity to showcase creativity and delight customers with unique beef dishes.
Why should I take part?
This inspirational day will include butchery and cookery demonstrations, highlight current trends, and share menu development ideas. Guests will be taken on a farm walk that will highlight some of the environmentally friendly practices of British beef farmers.
How will it help me?
During the event you will...
be encouraged to get involved by re-imagining British beef and creating your own unique menus for the week of the celebration. You can also share your recipes on your social channels using #GBBW24 and #NaturallyDeliciousBeef.

About Ladies in Beef
Ladies in Beef supports the Red Tractor mark, promoting farm assured quality meat. All beef carrying the Red Tractor logo can be traced back to the farms the livestock came from, and you can be assured that the farmers and suppliers meet comprehensive standards covering hygiene, safety and animal welfare at every stage, from farm to fork. Compliance with these strict standards is regularly checked by independent auditors.
