About Trading Card Events UK

Home

Trading Card Events brings UK Trading card event organisers together to create a better community and better trading card gatherings.

Founded in 2024, we share ideas, challenge assumptions and view every event from the visitor’s perspective.

From local gatherings to larger shows, our flexible events connect fans, collectors and communities across the country.

We are building reliable, welcoming trading hubs for the long term — led by organisers who share the same passion as the people we serve.

Where it Started

Back in 2021: We held our first event - 'The Moreton in Marsh Pokemon Community event' - This was held a few times per year with a great turnout and some fantastic lessons learned along the way setting the foundations for all to come.

2024: Cotswold Card Show - As demand for trading cards increases we created the Cotswold Card Show bringing together our local and newly enthusiastic visiting fans together under 1 roof.

2025: Cotswold Card Market - With demand so high for our events we started to put on more consistent Markets on the last Saturday of the month creating a safe space where people can trade on a regular basis.

2026: More Markets, local events and event holders have joined our community allowing us to brainstorm new ideas and to make sure our events are current and ever evolving, offering our followers even more opportunities.

2027: 'Onwards' - Plenty More in the Pipeline......

'We Grow Together'
