Telford Hamfest is 6 September 2026 – the GQRP Convention is on the day before

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2026

Harper Adams Univeristy has contracted in ANPR parking control. The parking is still free and huge but they require registration including an email and your vehicle numberplace information. This is completely out of our control and responsibility.

The parking control is automatic like many other places with numberplaces read and they give 15 minutes to register before issuing a £60 fine. Again TDARS is not in any way responsible for any fines any visitors may have.

We will be having volunteers on the entrance to support with registration – please be patient if there is a queue of traffic – its out of our control.

You can pre-register. at harper.ac.uk/hamfest26 If you change which vehicle you use – re-register

what information you put in is upto you – but DO USE CORRECT VEHICLE REGISTRATION PLATE INFO.

The Committee and club at TDARS are working hard in preparation for a safe and successful 2025 event.
The venue offers more than just a traditional radio rally and we have developed a good reputation both from our exhibitors and visitors for careful preparation and organisation on the day.
The venue is just a short distance (10 miles) north of the M54 (Jct 3) and is easily accessed from other trunk roads: SatNav code TF10 8NB. See location tab for more detailed directions.

From feedback and given our experience over the years, most available space will be booked prior to the event. We anticipate that a good day will be had by all.
