The UK’s largest guitar gathering, The Guitar Show returned to Solihull’s Cranmore Park on 1-2 March for what was the biggest event in its 10-year history.
With the addition of The Bass Show to the existing format, bass-playing visitors were treated to their own exhibition area for the first time – and some inspiring performances from the likes of Steve Lawson and Yolanda Charles on the Live Stage.
The expanded show welcomed an increase in visitors and more exhibitors than ever, representing the best of everything from UK luthiers to recording tech and the world’s biggest guitar, effects and amplification brands.
Show organiser Jason Hunt from Torn And Frayed said, “I was really pleased with the number of visitors through the Guitar Show doors this year – and their enthusiasm for the show. Feedback from both visitors and exhibitors has been incredibly positive and we’ve already re-booked close to 50% of the floor space for next year.
“The reception to the Bass Show was great and we’re looking of ways of building on the success of this year’s event in 2026. I’d really like to thank visitors for their support and exhibitors and artists for all their hard work in making the event what it’s grown into. I’m looking forward to what the next few years holds for us!”
The Guitar Show will take place on 28 February-1 March 2026 – for more information visit www.theguitarshow.co.uk
