Now in its eighth year, The London International Guitar Show (LIGS) will return to Kempton Park Racecourse, Staines Rd East, Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex, TW16 5AQ on 26th October 2025. 10am to 4pm.

LIGS has all the trademark features of our other well-established events.

These include an affordable entrance fee for visitors, sensibly-priced exhibitor costs with no added extras, free parking for all, good transport links including proximity to the motorways and even a railway station in the venue grounds. Long-distance visitors can also benefit from a large range of reasonably priced accommodation nearby.

Last time more than 150 exhibitors attended from all over the UK and Europe and this year promises to attract even more.

Based on the style of USA table-top exhibitions, LIGS is first and foremost a retail event. New, vintage and pre-owned guitars, amps and pedals will be available to buy, trade and sell from a host of retailers, distributors, manufacturers, luthiers, boutique makers and private collectors - not to mention a whole gamut of strings and accessories.

As with all the NGS events, workshops, demonstrations and live music will be available in separate areas throughout the day, with some of the top names in the industry performing.

LIGS is sponsored by Strings & Things, LR Baggs, Mooer, Hercules Stands, Ernie Ball, Fret-King Guitars, Vintage Guitars, Ivor Mairants Musicentre, Lava Music, Rapier Guitars, Scan Pro Audio, Flattley Guitar Pedals, Reflex Print, McCrerie Guitars, Guitar Nerds and The Musicians' Union.   

Registration is open to any business with guitar-related products including retailers, distributors, manufacturers, luthiers, boutique makers and private collectors and dealers.

Free Parking. Public admission is £15 (pay on the door) with accompanied under-12's free.

Alternatives

According to the venue management at Kempton Park you can use the underground to get closer. 
Hatton Cross and Richmond are relatively close and easy to Uber from. 
There is also the option to get to Hampton Court Station (You can get a bus from here or it's a 10–15-minute taxi ride) or Walton on Thames which is also about a 15-minute taxi ride….and, of course, we have plenty of free car parking spaces.
