Organised by Ladies in Beef and AHDB, the week shines a spotlight on a staple of British food, with beef enjoyed by families across Britain all year round.

Launching on St George鈥檚 Day (23 April 2025), this year鈥檚 campaign is farmer-led, putting the faces behind British beef farmers front and centre of the celebration, demonstrating their commitment to producing naturally delicious British beef.

The week also highlights the vital, wider role that beef farmers play in protecting our natural environment 鈥 for example, British farming provides 19,100 hectares of wildflowers for pollinators.
