Events

Card collectors, your time is now.

The Northwest Card Show is an annual event that should be a date in the diary for every self-respecting collector, and this year’s date is the 11th of July 2026 at Liverpool Exhibition Centre.

Whether your thing is Football cards, NFL cards, Basketball cards, UFC, F1, Wrestling cards, or if you play trading card games such as Pokemon, Magic The Gathering, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragonball Z etc., the Northwest Card Show is for you.

While cards are the main event, there is more to enjoy here. They have same day grading, middleman services, comics, funko pops, signed shirts and other memorabilia, and even tattoo artists working in the open which is fun to watch.

Here are the key ingredients of the day:

200 Vendor Tables: Discover your favourite collectibles from a diverse array of vendors
Bouncy Castle: A large assault course bouncy castle – fun for kids and adults alike
Delicious Food & Drink: Refuel and refresh with a variety of tasty options available on-site
Special Guests: Meet talented guest artists and voice actors throughout the day
On-Site Grading: Get your collectibles graded with Get Graded

If you are interested in the special guest this time around, it is Everton legend Duncan Ferguson, who will be doing signings from 12pm until 2pm. Other special guests may appear too, but names have not yet been released. Although the rumour is that Luke Littler could be back, so keep your eyes peeled.

You can get your cards or other merch signed by Big Dunc for £20 a pop.

There will be a large number of ambassadors at the show too. These are well known card collectors on social media, such as Cosymelacore, pokemum.alice, Ripz_collectables, Pokegirlcoley, thepokerafyt, justspicer_ – absolutely loads.

Tickets and Prices

It’s nice and cheap to get access to the event, although there are a few extra options for people who are happy to spend more:

Standard adult entry – £15.00
Early entry (10am) – £20.00
Kids (Ages 8-16) – £9.00
Free for Children 7 & Under)
Group of 4 – £40.00
VIP tickets – £40.00

Kids and group tickets are only available for 11am entry.

So what do early access and VIP tickets get you?

Well, the event starts at 10.00am and ends at 5.00pm, but standard ticket holders can’t get in until 11:00am. So if you want early access to the stalls for all the best loot, you need an early entry or VIP ticket.

There are only 100 VIP tickets available, and holders will also receive a goody bag. The contents have not been made clear, but at their last event they included a graded slab, soft sleaves and top loaders from TFF, plus, 1 bag in 50 contained a Pikachu Crown Zenith slab.

They are expecting over a thousand people so it will be a really busy event, full of people to meet and trade with.
