ABOUT US
Created by collectors, for collectors. Our mission is simple: to provide exceptional trading card events closer to home and help grow the hobby throughout the South West.
BUILT FOR COLLECTORS
The idea for our shows came from a simple vision, collectors in the South West deserved great trading card events closer to home.
For years, collectors across Devon, Somerset and Cornwall often faced long journeys to attend major card shows. We wanted to change that by creating local events where collectors, vendors and families could come together to buy, sell, trade and share their passion for the hobby.
What started with a vision to serve the South West community has grown into a series of successful events, including the Exeter Card Show, Bath Card Show and Torbay Card Show. Each show is built around the same values – community, accessibility and creating an exceptional experience for everyone who walks through the door.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
There are plenty of card shows around the UK, but we've built our reputation on doing things differently.
Community First: We believe great card shows are about more than buying and selling. They're about bringing people together, creating friendships and giving collectors a place where they belong.
We Care About Our Vendors: Our vendors are the backbone of every event. We work hard to provide well-organised, professionally run shows that help traders connect with engaged collectors and grow their businesses.
Incredible Feedback: The comments we receive after every show is what drives us forward. Seeing collectors return event after event, and hearing traders tell us how successful our shows have been, reminds us why we started this journey in the first place.
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
Our events are strategically located to serve collectors across Devon & Somerset, right in the centre for collectors in Cornwall and the wider South West.
If you're travelling via the M5, A38, A30 or A303, our venues are easy to access and offer a convenient alternative to travelling to larger shows elsewhere in the country. We wanted to create events that are local, accessible and worth the journey – wherever you're travelling from.
LOOKING AHEAD
What started as a vision to bring trading card events closer to home has grown into a thriving community of collectors and vendors.
As our shows continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to provide the best trading card events in the South West, support the hobby we love and create unforgettable experiences for everyone who attends.
We can't wait to welcome you to our next event.

Our events are organised by collectors, for collectors. We understand the excitement of finding that missing card, completing a set, landing a great trade or sharing the hobby with the next generation.
Every decision we make is focused on creating the best possible experience for both visitors and vendors. From venue selection and event layout to trader support and customer service, we continually look for ways to improve each show.
Our goal isn't simply to run events – it's to help grow the trading card community across the South West.
