About
The Card Show UK is a touring series of Pokémon and trading card shows held at venues across England, built for collectors, traders and vendors who want a full day on the floor. Each show runs 10 AM to 4 PM, and the series is now in its 2026 and 2027 seasons, with dates booked in Ashford, London, Newcastle, Luton and Colchester.
Pokémon is the anchor, but the vendor mix is not limited to it. Vendors can sell Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards and more, so the room suits collectors with broader tastes than a single-game show would serve. The 2026 shows drew thousands of attendees across England. The series is run as a community event for collectors of all backgrounds, from new Trainers to long-time collectors, and tickets are sold per show.
Shows rotate between several cities. Tickets for the November and December 2026 shows are on sale now; the 2027 dates are confirmed but ticketing opens later.

Two shows already ran this autumn, on September 13 and October 11, 2026.
Every vendor table for the 2026 season is sold out. Bookings for 2027 are not yet open, though the organizer takes expressions of interest by email and contacts vendors when bookings go live. Spaces are expected to go quickly. New and experienced vendors are both welcome, and the set-up is organized with clear setup times and staff on hand during the show.
The shows are held at well-connected venues. In London the show is at Lee Valley VeloPark inside Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, off Abercrombie Road in Stratford. Newcastle's shows are in the Barrack Suite at St James Park, the football ground, with the 2027 dates using the Milburn Entrance off Barrack Road. In Kent the show is at The Stour Centre on Station Approach in Ashford, and in Essex it is at Charter Hall on Cowdray Ave in Colchester.
The Card Show UK fits Pokémon collectors who want a regular, well-spaced calendar in several regions, and mixed-game collectors who like a floor that also carries Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! and sports cards. Vendors planning ahead should register interest early, since the 2026 season sold out entirely.
