Quality over quantity

Not the biggest field.
The right field.

Northern Premier is designed around a simple idea: limit the numbers, raise the standard and give every quality pigeon a meaningful opportunity.

One professional loft. One transparent campaign. Thirty final-race prize positions from a maximum field of 250.

The prize worth racing for

Winner receives£50,000

Plus £10,000 for first Ace Pigeon, £3,000 for the two-bird average and three paid Hot Spot races.

The 2027 campaign

Every bird enters one professionally managed loft and one shared programme.

A measured settling, health and conditioning programme designed around welfare.

Three meaningful race tests with £1,000, £1,500 and £2,500 prizes.

The campaign meets the Midland National Flying Club Young Bird Race 2027.

A final worthy of the field

The remaining pigeons meet the MNFC Young Bird Race for the season’s decisive test. A true race. A true champion.
