A brand-new event is coming to the Cardiff in 2026 as the first ever Welsh Guitar Show launches — bringing together a day of hands-on guitar workshops, live performances, and a high-quality trade show for players of all levels.
Designed to go beyond the traditional guitar exhibition, the event combines learning, playing, and exploring gear in one place.
A full programme of free workshops and talks runs throughout the day, offering practical guidance and inspiration for players at different stages of their musical journey.
Chickenbone John will be hosting his popular interactive slide and cigar box guitar workshop, Medusa Guitars will be talking about their journey and blues rocker Thomas Heppell and Youtube star Leigh Fuge and more will be hitting the live stage.
More workshops and performances to be announced soon!
As well as performances and workshops, visitors can explore a specially curated guitar trade show featuring new and pre-owned guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects, and accessories, alongside a strong selection of UK luthiers and independent builders. Attendees will have the chance to meet makers directly and try handcrafted instruments and ask questions directly.
You're also invited to sell or trade in your old gear with our traders.
