Medicon Expo 2026 is a two-day trade fair and conference focused on medical cannabis in the United Kingdom. It takes place on May 23 and 24 at Bolesworth Estate in Tattenhall, Cheshire – a historic castle grounds with ample space for exhibition, lectures, and supporting programs. For industry professionals, doctors, patients, and companies, the event is a rare opportunity to experience the British medical cannabis market in all its breadth.
What to expect
Medicon Expo combines three formats under one roof. The central exhibition hall showcases hundreds of exhibitors: clinics offering telemedical services, established lifestyle brands, manufacturers of care products, laboratories, and service providers around cannabinoids. Running in parallel is the Cannabis Conference with talks and panels on topics such as supply structures, clinical research, business development, and regulatory innovation. A main stage offers live music and cultural programming – confirmed performers include US rapper Berner.
The program covers the entire British value chain: import structures, quality assurance, prescription practices, telemedical services, and patient advocacy. Cooperation partners such as the Cannabis Trades Association and the United Patients Alliance bring professional and political perspectives. This makes Medicon particularly valuable for visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – it shows how an established prescription market brings together trade fair, professional conference, and community exchange.
Location and travel
The event takes place at Bolesworth Estate, a large castle grounds in Tattenhall, Cheshire (CH3 9HQ). The location offers both indoor spaces for exhibition and conference as well as outdoor areas for supporting programs. For those traveling from Germany, arrival via one of the major British airports (Manchester, Liverpool, or Birmingham are nearby) is recommended. On-site, a car or taxi is advisable as the grounds are somewhat remote. Parking is available; VIP ticket holders have preferred parking access.
Tickets and prices
There are three ticket categories:
- Day pass: from £69.99 – access to exhibition and conference for one day
- Weekend pass: from £99.99 – both days, exhibition and conference
- VIP ticket: from £250 – lounge access, preferred parking, fast-track entry, and extended networking opportunities
Early-bird discounts are typically available in the first weeks after ticket sales begin. It’s worth checking the official website regularly.
Why this event?
Medicon Expo differs from pure trade fairs or academic conferences in that it deliberately brings both worlds together. The organizer Medicon sees itself as a movement that wants to give the British medical cannabis landscape a shared showcase. This is relevant because the British market for prescription cannabinoids has grown continuously since legalization in 2018 – but remains fragmented. Doctors, patients, and companies often have little contact with each other.
For professionals from the German-speaking region, Medicon Expo offers a rare insight into a more mature market. You can see how telemedical clinics operate, what quality standards have become established, how patient advocacy is organized, and which business models have proven successful. This is valuable for anyone working in or wanting to learn about this sector in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
