A trading card show inside a supercar showroom.
Eight Sundays a year across Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Colchester. Over 100 vendors covering every trading card game, with Japanese modified vehicles and modified builds parked on site and a live auction in the afternoon.

Add to calendarWhat's on at every show
A full trade hall, real cars on display and enough going on that a family stays the whole day.
Every trading card game
Pokémon takes the most tables, but every game gets real floor space — graded slabs and sealed product included.
The cars
Supercars from the showroom floor, plus JDM and modified builds parked between the aisles. Look, photograph, don't lean.
Live auction
Graded slabs, sealed product and one-off lots go under the hammer in the afternoon. Bid in the room or online through our auction partner.
Special guests
Artists, pro players and creators: signings, meet-and-greets and Q&As. Each line-up is announced six weeks out.
Kids zone
Learn-to-play tables, free starter packs, face painting, and a photo spot in front of the fastest car in the building.
Food and drink
Street-food traders and coffee on the forecourt all day. Sit down, refuel, go back in for round two.
The 2027 season
Roughly every six weeks, rotating across the four showrooms so there's always a show within an hour's drive. Every show runs from 09:30 to 16:00.

Four showrooms, one circuit
Each show takes over a dealership showroom. The showroom becomes the trade hall, the forecourt takes the food traders and the car display, and parking is free.
Colchester
The flagship site and the season opener. Two showrooms plus the bike hall, five acres of parking, and the biggest car display of the four.
Ipswich
Two connected showrooms just off the A14 at Nacton, with the car display on the forecourt by the doors. The most compact room on the circuit, so the aisles stay busy all day.
Bury St Edmunds
The most central venue: half an hour from Cambridge, Ipswich and Newmarket on the A14.
Cambridge
Glass-fronted showroom with a covered forecourt, so the car display sits by the entrance whatever the weather.
Tickets
Four ways in, from free to VIP. Everything is sold through Eventbrite and your QR code arrives by email. Show it on your phone at the door.

The full day from 09:00, ahead of early access, and a bag stuffed with product before you have bought a single card.

Vending at the show?
Three table tiers, eight dates, and up to 10% off when you take the season. Table booking, pricing and the vendor pack live on the trade page.
From the floor
Photos from the aisles, the car display and the auction stage. Open an album to flick through the set.
Get involved
Two of the things people remember most: the cars parked between the aisles, and what they ate while they were there.
Show your car
JDM, modified, classic or unusual — one or two cars go inside the showroom, the rest line up on the forecourt by the doors.
Trade on the forecourt
One coffee pitch, one hot food pitch and one dessert pitch per show, so nobody is fighting for the same queue.
Bring something to the show
Artists, pro players, creators, brands and anyone with a lot worth putting under the hammer. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back within a few days.
Guests and signings
Artists, pro players and creators. We cover a table, entry for you and a guest, and push the announcement across our channels six weeks out.
Auction lots
Graded slabs, sealed product, one-off pieces and memorabilia go under the hammer in the afternoon. Consign a single lot or a collection.
Brands and collaborations
Grading desks, live breaks, sampling and giveaways — anything that gives the floor something to do. Paid packages live on the sponsorship page.
Quicker for a back-and-forth about dates, lots or what you want to run on the day.
Questions
Guest announcements, early-bird drops and the vendor list.
One email before each show. Nothing else.
