The UK’s largest trading card event is officially returning in 2026, with the London Card Show set to welcome more than 10,000 collectors, creators and fans across three action-packed days.
Taking place from 13–15 February 2026, the highly anticipated event will once again transform Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher into a buzzing hub for card collectors, gaming enthusiasts and pop culture fans alike.
Bigger, Better and More Immersive Than Ever
For the first time in the event’s history, the Friday show will expand into the first third of the upstairs hall, offering visitors more space, more vendors and an even more immersive experience. The expansion marks a major milestone for the London Card Show as it celebrates its 19th event.
Founder Harry Reynolds said:
“We’re incredibly excited and proud to announce that for the first time ever, event attendees will be able to enjoy more space, more vendors and more interactive activities on Friday. Our single mission has always been about bringing card collectors of all types under one roof, and the upcoming show in Esher is another step towards igniting the passion of fans to collect, trade and discover more about cards.”
