Jumbo Day was the one-day annual sale and exchange typically run at the end of October and had become one of the UK’s most popular one-day events. However, due to the changing nature of magic, declining numbers and the COVID-19 pandemic, Jumbo Day is currently taking a hiatus. Therefore until further notice, Jumbo Day will not be taking place.
