Last year more than 160 exhibitors attended from all over the UK and Europe and this year promises to attract even more.

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 – as well as a whole gamut of strings and accessories.

Workshops, demonstrations and live music will be available in separate areas throughout the day, with some of the top names in the industry performing in an intimate setting.

Public admission will be £12 (pay on the door) with accompanied under-12's free.
