The Scotland Card Show

The Scotland Card Show is coming to the Royal Highland Centre on Saturday 14 November, taking over Lowland Hall for the day. It's the UK's biggest trading card and collectibles event, and it's a key date in the British collecting calendar. The show is run by Caledonia Events as part of a touring circuit that also stops in Glasgow, and it's grown from a small gathering of passionate collectors into a major draw, bringing in more than 15,000 fans across the year.

Inside, you'll find hundreds of trader tables. The sports cards are a big part of it, alongside Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, vintage rarities, graded slabs and signed memorabilia. There's plenty beyond that too: Star Wars, Marvel, One Piece, WWE, Lorcana and Dragon Ball Z all get their own space. If you're just starting out, there are live demos and expert guidance to help you learn how to play the different games. The show has picked up a couple of awards recently, winning at both the UK StartUp Awards 2025 and the Scottish Event Awards 2025.

Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, TOPPS and eBay are the headline sponsors this time around. The guest list usually brings in voice actors, artists and footballers, and this edition has Hearts midfielder Josh McPake doing a signing session from 1:00 to 1:30 pm.

The show runs from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm, with VIP entry starting half an hour earlier at 10:30 am. Tickets are between £6 and £12, and you'll find it in Lowland Hall at the Royal Highland Centre, 2 Ingliston Road, Ingliston, Edinburgh EH28 8NB.
