Hamfest India will take place at Ahmedabad Science City in 2023 on 25-26th November 2023.

Since 1991, Hamfest India has been a national convention of amateur radio enthusiasts made up of a trade show, flea market, and other activities.

Science City is an ambitious initiative of the government of Gujarat to trigger an inquiry of science in the mind of a common citizen with the aid of entertainment and experiential knowledge. Covering an area of more than 107 hectares, the idea is to create imaginative exhibits, virtual reality activity corners, and live demonstrations in an easily understandable manner.

Science City features a robotics gallery, amphitheater, energy park, IMAX 3D, and more.

No UK National Hamfest in 2023

The Directors of National Hamfest (Lincoln) Ltd have made the following announcement.

“It is with a sad heart that we unfortunately have to advise that the National Hamfest team will reluctantly have to cancel the 2023 National Hamfest event.

Unfortunately we have been hit with several curved balls this year. Firstly our temporary move to Peterborough in October was cancelled by the venue themselves, which has meant finding a new venue or new date. A new venue has proved impossible to find at short notice. We have negotiated some revised dates in July at Newark but after many discussions we have reached the conclusion that the school holidays and the like were a problem for traders big and small. We are also unsure how many of the attendees would also be unable to attend for the same reasons. Finally we looked at the financial impact and concluded it was not viable to run the event with the reduced trade attendees and the risk of reduced footfall.

We can assure you all, we haven’t made this decision lightly. However we are pleased to confirm that we hope to put on a bigger and better event in 2024 at the Newark Showground on our more usual dates of the 27 & 28 September. Please put the date in your diary now and we hope to see you there.”
