Eastbourne 1st - 4th September 2022

Registration is now open! Scroll down to see a flavour of what we have in store, and use the menu choices to get even more information. We look forward to welcoming you in Eastbourne.
The convention is being held in both the Welcome Building and the Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne. The Welcome Building is in Compton Street, Eastbourne BN21 4BP. This is near the sea front in Eastbourne. Our team will welcome you at our Registration Desk which will be inside the Welcome Building and down one floor, and this is where the main lecture hall and dealers will also be situated

Lectures

 

We have lectures to suit every taste, but arranged so you don’t have to miss a single one.  Take a look at our Artistes page to see the array of talent we have lined up for you

Competitions

We have the Annual Stage Competition – for the winner of the British Ring Shield an additional prize is an appearance in the West End of London.  On a smaller scale, we have the Close up competition with a cash prize.  And we host the annual Ali Bongo Micro Magic Marathon – a close up competition in real world conditions.  We’d love to see you – as a competitor or in our audience – join us to be part of the fun!

Shows

 

From the international stars of the magic gala on the Saturday to the stars of international close up and the best of children’s magic, our shows are sure to please.  AND a full registration gets you access to nearly all of them (the Childrens show is a small extra charge)
