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. Tom Dalby, founder of Oxfordshire Music School, will lead workshops for beginner and intermediate guitarists, focusing on confidence, technique, and practical playing skills.
More workshops to be announced!
As well as the 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.
