Trading card fans and collectors are set to descend on Cardiff Bay this September as the Cardiff Bay Card Show returns to The Red Dragon Centre for a full weekend of collecting, trading and family fun.
Taking place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September from 10am until 4pm, the event is being hosted by The Red Dragon Centre in partnership with Vendiboyz.
Now a firm favourite with local collectors, the two-day event will bring together trading card fans of all ages, with visitors able to browse, buy, sell and trade cards throughout the weekend.
A wide range of vendors will be setting up inside The Red Dragon Centre, offering everything from cards for those just starting their collections to harder-to-find additions for more experienced collectors.
Visitors will also have plenty of opportunities to trade with other fans, making it a chance to hunt down that missing card while meeting fellow collectors from across South Wales and beyond.
But it won’t just be about what’s inside your binder.
The weekend will also feature special character appearances, giveaways and a few surprises, with visitors encouraged to get involved in the fun.
There could even be some extra rewards for anyone spotted wearing their best themed fancy dress or doing a good deed during the weekend.
All that trading can work up an appetite, and WHOCULT will once again be getting involved in the weekend.
The Cardiff doughnut brand will be bringing along a selection of limited-edition themed donuts, which will be available while stocks last.
For the first time, this September’s Cardiff Bay Card Show will also include a dedicated quieter trading zone.
Hosted by Inclusability, the space will be located at ODEON on Saturday 19 September from 10am until 4pm and will provide a calmer environment away from the main event for anyone who would prefer a quieter place to trade and take part.
Numbers within the quieter trading zone will be limited, with spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day.
Emma Constantinou, Marketing Manager at The Red Dragon Centre, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the Cardiff Bay Card Show back to The Red Dragon Centre. It’s always fantastic to see the enthusiasm from collectors and fans of all ages, and we’re looking forward to another brilliant weekend of collecting, trading and family fun.
“We’re also really pleased to be introducing a quieter trading zone this year, giving more visitors the opportunity to enjoy the event in a way that suits them.”
Visitors can also make the most of everything else at The Red Dragon Centre while they’re there, with ODEON, Hollywood Bowl, arcades and a range of places to eat and drink all under one roof.
The Cardiff Bay Card Show takes place at The Red Dragon Centre on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, from 10am until 4pm.
