What is National Butchers Week?
National Butchers Week is an annual celebration of the skills, knowledge, and craftsmanship of butchers across the United Kingdom. The event aims to raise awareness of the important role that butchers play in the food industry and the local economy. It provides an opportunity to showcase the high-quality meat products and services that butchers offer, as well as to educate the public about the benefits of buying meat from local, independent butchers.

National Butchers Week takes place in the second week of March each year.
