The Photography & Video Show is a must-attend event for anyone with an interest in photography or filmmaking, from complete beginners to working professionals: the biggest players in the industry show off all their latest kit – often for the very first time; there are inspiring talks from famous content creators; and don't miss the famous show deals where you can pick up the gear you've been lusting after at a knockdown price.
The show launched in 2014, and has previously been hosted at the Birmingham NEC, so the 2025 show marks the first time it is being held in London. Going forwards, the show will alternate between Birmingham and the British capital every other year.
