About The Lab

The Lab Convention is a brand-new TCG & Collectibles event taking place at Chelmsford City Racecourse.

We’re building something a little different:

A market-style show designed for exploration and trading.
An inclusive, community-driven atmosphere where collectors, traders, and fans feel at home.
A place where people want to spend the whole day discovering.

Every vendor helps shape the energy of The Lab, and we’re curating a lineup of handpicked traders, artists, and creators.
