Milton Keynes MEGA Card Show

The Milton Keynes MEGA Card Show takes over Arena MK on Sunday 8 November, a full day for anyone who collects trading cards. It's a proper card show, which means it's built around vendors buying, selling and trading on the day, rather than just a display to look at. If you've got a stack of cards you're ready to move on, or a list of specific ones you've been hunting, this is the kind of event where you can actually get those deals done in person.

Pokemon and One Piece are the big names here, so expect plenty of both across the tables. Whether you're into the classics or the newer sets, there'll be a good mix of vendors to work through. It's not just about the high-end stuff either; with people buying and selling side by side, it works as much for someone looking to pick up a few new additions as it does for someone wanting to offload a larger collection.

It's held at Arena MK, part of the Stadium MK complex on Stadium Way West in Bletchley, so it's easy enough to get to. The show runs from 10:00 to 17:00, giving you a full seven hours to work your way around the tables without having to rush. If you're planning on trading, that's plenty of time to compare prices and make sure you're getting a fair swap.

Entry ranges from free up to £43.71, depending on what you're after, so it's worth checking the different options before you head down. With the doors open from 10:00 until 17:00, you can either get in early to beat the crowds or take your time and wander through later in the day.
