Two days of all things photography

The Cambridge Photography Show returns for 2026. What started as a local photography event has grown into a must-attend weekend for photographers, filmmakers, and creators across the region, and 2026 is set to be bigger than ever.

With events, talks, workshops, brand expos, exclusive discounts and the chance to get hands on with the new kit before you buy it.
