The Maine Coon Cat Club Show

Our annual show takes place in early October each year. Maine Coon exhibitors travel from all over the UK to compete and almost everyone enters the show with the dream of possibly winning Overall Best in Show Exhibit. The show is held just off the M42 near Tamworth, in the Midlands, it is easily accessible as major routes from north, south, east and west converge in that area. It is the largest gathering of Maine Coons under one roof, anywhere in the UK.
The first Maine Coon Cat Club Show took place in 1994, and since then, apart from 2020 and 2021 when no shows took place because of the Covid pandemic, we have held a show every year. You can see a full list of all the previous winners in our history section document. We are already busy organising our 2026 show - 3rd October 2026, our 25th Championship Show, so we are celebrating this silver anniversary with some extra special things! More information can be found further down on this page and watch out for further announcements closer to the time. We have also produced a video showing photos of every Overall Best in Show Winner from our first show in 1994, right through to 2025.
