The UK’s biggest annual event promoting sausages comes into profile each autumn through UK Sausage Week – organised by YPL Exhibitions & Events and exclusively backed by Meat Management magazine, the trade’s number one publication.

With sausages being so important to the meat industry and also a much loved staple food enjoyed by many, many millions of consumers, the initiative is specifically designed to support the trade and its suppliers, and to generate substantial interest and increased revenues over the all-important autumn period, a key time for sausage sales both at retail and wholesale.

UK Sausage Week kicks off with an Awards ceremony and lunch, which recognises great products from all sectors and is when the UK Sausage Champion for the current year is revealed. This is followed over the week by a range of activities throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Category partnerships for sponsors are available to industry suppliers which includes tickets for the UK Sausage Week lunch, an advertising package, regular branding and marketing exposure to the trade via Meat Management, its website and a whole range of other platforms.
