Following a sold-out 2026 event in March, the organisers of The Guitar Show and The Bass Shows have some exciting developments planned for 2027.
Most significantly, the show – which takes place between 26-28th February – will now feature a preview event on the Friday afternoon for trade, content creators and other visitors keen to experience the show before the weekend crowds attend. Preview tickets will be limited to 500, allowing attendees the chance for in-depth interaction with exhibitors and for a quieter environment for video content creation etc.
Opening hours for the preview event will be from 1pm – 6pm, with the show open on the Saturday and Sunday as usual between 10am and 5pm.
Show organiser Jason Hunt said of the plans, “I’ve been delighted at the growth of the show over the last couple of years – to sell out this year was really incredible – and we’re now really at capacity over the weekend as a result.
“I’m very keen to stay at Cranmore Park as the venue is so popular with exhibitors and visitors alike. It allows us to have separate halls for electric, acoustic and bass sections, which gives each a real sense of their own identity. Moving to a larger venue would bring both a huge increase in costs for all concerned and risk losing the intimate, community vibe we’ve all worked so hard to create for the show.
“Adding the Friday afternoon proved extremely popular with exhibitors when surveyed, with close to 95% in favour. So I’m looking forward to working with them on some exciting plans for the preview event and starting the show’s next chapter.”
