Held each June, Grimsby Tailgate Treasures is a relaxed, outdoor-style hamfest that captures the spirit of a classic tailgate swap meet. Vendors set up from their vehicles, creating a treasure-hunt atmosphere where you never know what you might find.

This event is perfect for early risers and bargain hunters alike. It’s a great opportunity to browse unique items, chat with fellow hobbyists, and enjoy a laid-back morning immersed in amateur radio culture.

The Grimsby Tailgate Treasurers is open to everyone – club members, licensed operators, and the general public. Come out, explore, and experience the vibrant world of amateur radio firsthand.
