East Anglia has a growing community of Pokémon, sports-card and trading-card collectors. Whether you live in Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambridgeshire, UK Card Shows has several permanent regional event pages that make it easier to find the next date near you.
This guide brings the main card shows in East Anglia together in one place. Event dates and ticket availability change, so use the permanent city links below rather than relying on an old date-specific listing.
Card shows in East Anglia: choose your nearest location
UK Card Shows currently has permanent location pages for Ipswich, Cambridge, Norwich and Newmarket. Each page is designed to remain the main destination for that city as new event dates are added.
The best location depends on your journey, the date, entry availability and how long you want to spend at the show. If two locations are practical, visiting both during the year can give you access to different vendors and stock.
Ipswich Card Show in Suffolk
The Ipswich Card Show page contains the next Ipswich dates, ticket options, venue details and visitor information.
Ipswich is a practical choice for collectors across Suffolk and parts of Essex. The show brings together vendors and collectors for a friendly day of browsing, buying, selling and trading cards in person.
Who is the Ipswich Card Show suitable for?
Ipswich works well for experienced collectors, families, first-time visitors and anyone looking for a local alternative to travelling into London. Check the current page before leaving for the latest venue, entry time and travel guidance.
Cambridge Card Show in Cambridgeshire
Use the permanent Cambridge Card Show page for upcoming dates, ticket availability and the current venue.
Cambridge is well placed for visitors from across Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties. It can also suit collectors travelling from towns along the A14 and the wider Cambridge area.
Plan the exact Cambridge journey
Do not plan around Cambridge city centre generally: confirm the event venue shown on the current page and check the final part of your route. Public-transport and driving times can vary considerably across the Cambridge area.
Norwich Card Show in Norfolk
For Norfolk events, visit the Norwich Card Show page. This is the current home for upcoming Norwich dates and replaces older Norfolk or date-specific event listings.
Norwich gives collectors across Norfolk an opportunity to browse specialist vendors, compare cards and meet other hobbyists without travelling to London or the Midlands.
A local card show for Norfolk collectors
The Norwich event can be a convenient family day out as well as a collecting trip. Review the entry options and venue facilities before booking, particularly when travelling with children or anyone who needs additional support.
Newmarket Card Show near the Suffolk–Cambridgeshire border
The Newmarket Card Show page carries the current event dates, venue and booking information.
Newmarket sits close to the Suffolk–Cambridgeshire border, making it a useful option for collectors from Bury St Edmunds, Ely, Cambridge and surrounding areas.
When Newmarket may be the easiest option
Compare the Newmarket date and journey with Ipswich and Cambridge. The closest city on a map is not always the quickest event to reach, especially when weekend traffic or public transport is involved.
What can you find at an East Anglia trading card show?
The exact vendor line-up changes from event to event, but visitors commonly find a broad mix of trading cards, sealed products, graded cards and collecting accessories.
Pokémon cards, sealed products and accessories.
Sports cards covering different teams, players and eras.
One Piece, Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! products.

Binders, sleeves, toploaders, storage boxes and display accessories.
Opportunities to speak with vendors and other collectors.
Buying, selling and trading cards safely
Bring a wish list, set a budget and inspect the exact card before agreeing a price. If you plan to sell or trade, organise your cards beforehand and be realistic about condition. Our guide to buying, selling and trading cards safely explains the process in more detail.
Are East Anglia card shows family friendly?
UK Card Shows welcomes collectors of different ages and experience levels. Children do not need to own an expensive collection to enjoy browsing, meeting vendors and seeing different games and collectables.
Read our family friendly card shows guide for practical information about children, carers, accessibility planning and preparing for a busy event environment.
