No ICDA Consolidation Support

You will be responsible for arranging and covering the costs of airfreight and customs clearance into the UK to a storage location.

ICDA will arrange complimentary collection from the UK storage location and chilled delivery to the showground, where your entries will be staged on your behalf prior to judging.

We are thrilled that you are considering entering this year’s International Cheese and Dairy Awards, being held at Bingley Hall, Stafford in the United Kingdom. As the oldest Cheese and Dairy Show in the world, it has an excellent reputation both in the UK and internationally, providing a platform to benchmark your products against the very best on the market and helping to further enhance your reputation for the manufacture of quality cheese and dairy products.

We hope that you will be at the show for the trophy presentations at 11am on Thursday 25 June 2026.

We are working with our colleagues globally to make the safe passage of your cheese as simple as possible.
