The current developments surrounding the COVID pandemic have prompted the organisers of Europe's largest hunting exhibition to postpone the event. The new date has already been set, with the 40th JAGD & HUND show now to be held at Messe Dortmund between 7 and 12 June 2022. Angling show FISCH & ANGEL will take a break in 2022.

Dortmund, 6 December 2021 – The new virus variant, high case numbers and federal and state government regulations make it unfeasible to plan to hold an international heavyweight like JAGD & HUND at the beginning of February 2022. “As an experienced trade show organiser, we're used to dealing with big challenges. However, the current developments and the circumstances and conditions confronting us right now simply cannot be ignored when it comes to a major international event like JAGD & HUND,” said Sabine Loos, Managing Director of the Westfalenhallen Group of Companies.

“Having talked at length with partners and exhibitors, we have therefore taken the decision to postpone the show. This not only offers everyone involved more planning certainty, it also enables us to stage a fitting 40th anniversary for JAGD & HUND with all the long-standing partners and exhibitors from all over the world who have helped us make the show what it is today: Europe's largest hunting exhibition.”
