Following the resounding success of the inaugural events in September and December 2023, the Essex Retro Football Show established itself at a new venue in 2024: The County Ground in Chelmsford.
With an eclectic mix of stallholders covering all aspects of football memorabilia – from programmes to cards, books to badges, Subbuteo to shirts and plenty more – there really was something to appeal to all ages of football supporters.

Well-attended events took place in June and November 2024. The next Show will be held on Saturday 28th June 2025, incorporating the 30th Anniversary Corinthian Convention, with 50 tables across two rooms.

The Ambassador Cruise Line Ground in Chelmsford, home of Essex Cricket, is the perfect venue for an expanded Essex Retro Football Show. All the usual football memorabilia is now showcased in one of the county's most historic sporting arenas.

The pavilion at the home of Essex Cricket is already steeped in sporting heritage to add in an even greater feel of nostalgia to the day. There will be a further 25 tables of football memorabilia upstairs in the Premier Suite, as part of the 30th Anniversary Corinthian Convention. The pavilion bar is also open to visitors throughout the event (up to 2pm) and after until 4pm.
