Welcome to CARDCORE
[CARDCORE] SESSIONS HAVE FOUND A NEW HOME AT WELCOME TO THORNBURY
The perfect place for TCG lovers to gather, trade, collect & connect!
We're talking curated vendors who actually care, rotating food trucks to keep things interesting, and a backyard party energy that feels more like hanging at a mate's place than a stuffy event.
Whether you're here to trade, browse, meet collectors, or just soak up the atmosphere with a drink in hand, you're in the right spot.
This isn't your typical expo. It's relaxed. It's welcoming. It's the kind of thing you'll want to come back to every month.

Very. Free entry for kids 12 and under, plenty of space to roam, and a backyard-party vibe rather than a stuffy expo hall.

Always. Rotating food trucks keep the lineup interesting every month, and the bar's open the whole time.

Presale is recommended (cheaper, and skips any door queue), but walk-ups are welcome on the day.

Yep — our fully-loaded modern gaming arcade is open as usual, so you can trade cards and rack up a high score in the same afternoon.
