The Directors of National Hamfest would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event such a success.

Staging a two-day event of this size is a major undertaking, involving many months of planning and preparation. We are grateful to the many volunteers and local clubs who provided teams to help throughout the weekend. Their enthusiasm, hard work and willingness to go the extra mile are what make National Hamfest possible.

Our thanks also go to all the traders, clubs and groups who filled the halls and contributed to the atmosphere of the event. The RSGB once again provided an excellent programme, including its popular hands-on Buildathon, interactive displays and specialist stands. The flea market traders also provided a great selection of equipment and bargains for the visitors.

The CambHams team operating the special event station GB2NHF, attracting plenty of interest throughout the weekend. This year they were joined by the Lincolnshire Portable Radio Group, who brought along an impressive selection of equipment and activities, providing visitors with plenty to see, discuss and get involved with.

And, of course, our biggest thank you goes to you – the visitors. Whether you were attending for the first time or are a regular visitor, we appreciate your support. Many travelled considerable distances to join us, and we hope you enjoyed the weekend, met plenty of friends and perhaps went home with a few new additions to the shack!

An event of this scale only happens through the combined efforts of a large number of people and organisations. We would therefore also like to thank our partners, traders, Show ground staff and everyone working behind the scenes who contributed to making the 2026 event possible.

Thank you all for your continued support – we look forward to seeing you again at the National Hamfest.
