Cardmania XL – Exhibition Centre, Liverpool: 25th and 26th October 2025

Events

Cardmania Events are running their first ever 2 day event this year, and they have chosen Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre to do it. On the 25th and 26th of October, card collectors will be able to enjoy a weekend’s worth of collecting, trading, and celebrating all things trading cards.

It’s a big one too, so much so that they have even called it Cardmania XL. Enthusiasts will be able to buy from 425 different vendors, browse and buy hundreds of thousands of different cards, and enjoy some family fun at the same time.

This is a card show at its heart, but it is so much more than that, too. It’s going to be a bustling marketplace filled with like-minded people, so the atmosphere will be fantastic, plus, accessories and other collectibles will be on sale too. They have a spin the wheel game where graded cards, single hits, official merch, and other prizes can be won, cosplay and photo moments, plushies, and a dedicated trading zone where attendees can bring their unwanted cards and swap them with cards owned by other people.

Serious collectors and casual card fans alike will be well catered for at Cardmania XL, and Liverpool XL is the biggest show they have ever done, so if this sounds like your bag make sure to grab a ticket.

Tickets and Prices

Cardmania XL Liverpool — From Cardmania Events

There are loads of different ticket options for Cardmania, so I won’t list them all. None of them are expensive though.

You are generally looking at:

£10.66 – This is for one day not both, with entry at a set time, starting at
£29.21 – This is for a family ticket (2 adults 2 children) on one day not both, again with entry at a set time.
Free – Under fives don’t pay

Early bird tickets are available for a little more, costing £14.90 but you can get in from 10am.

There is also a VIP ticket for each day costing £32.39, but you get early access from 9:30am on your day of choice, plus a Cardmania exclusive gift pack, and an VIP lanyard. The main benefit here is you get access to the cards before anyone else, so you will have first dibs.

General admission starts at 11am on both days, so the pricier tickets get you a good amount of time before the hordes descend, and the event will close at 5pm.
