What's on
Newbury Tattoo Convention — 2025
WHAT'S ON at the show
Two days packed with tattooing, live music, stunt shows, competitions and more. There's genuinely something for everyone.
MORE THAN JUST A TATTOO SHOW
Newbury Tattoo Convention is a full weekend experience built by tattooists, for tattooists — with a personal hometown feel.
Over 150 tattoo artists and 30+ traders, live entertainment, street food, and attractions you won't find at any other convention. Something happening every hour of every day.
Live judging across multiple categories all weekend. From bold traditional to intricate realism — a chance for artists to shine and visitors to see truly amazing work up close.
A full lineup of live bands in their own dedicated space — atmosphere buzzing without getting in the way of the tattooing. Best of both worlds.
Professional strongman athletes, huge lifts, heavy carries and jaw-dropping displays of power. High energy and not to be missed.
Professional BMX riders and motorbike stunt performers — huge jumps, insane tricks and crowd-hyped moments all day long.
Take home a free caricature portrait done in minutes. Perfect for a laugh and a memorable keepsake from the weekend.
Step up and see if you can stick the perfect throw. Fun for all levels with trained staff on hand. Surprisingly addictive.
Suit up, grab a bat and smash plates, bottles and old electrical appliances to pieces. Loud, chaotic and ridiculously satisfying.
Think you can stay on? Hilarious to watch and even more fun to try — perfect for friendly competition with your mates.
A full lineup of street food vendors and a licensed bar keeping you fed and watered all weekend long.
FROM THE ORGANISER
Lee Priddy — Founder, NTCMy name is Lee Priddy and I am a tattoo artist with a studio based in Newbury, Berkshire.
This year marks our 5th annual convention and I cannot express how grateful I am to be able to run this show each year, with the help of such an amazing team. Putting on this convention meant so much to me.
I grew up in Newbury and wanted to give back to the community and the industry I love the most.
We are very excited for 2026 and hope to see you all there!
Much Love, Lee xWHAT PEOPLE SAID
