KEF TO PRESENT HOME CINEMA AND VINYL SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE WREN SUITE
June 12, 2026
NYTECH AUDIO TO RETURN TO NORTH WEST AUDIO SHOW WITH NEW PHONO STAGES
June 15, 2026
If you are under 25 and love music, the North West Audio Show wants to help kickstart your HiFi journey.
The organisers of the show have announced a special Sunday prize draw exclusively for visitors aged under 25 attending this year’s event at De Vere Cranage Estate in Cheshire on the 27th and 28th June 2026.
And the prizes are not small.
Two complete HiFi systems will be given away on Sunday afternoon, with one system focused on streaming music and modern listening, whilst the other is built around vinyl playback and record collecting.
The streaming-based setup is designed for easy everyday listening, giving younger music fans access to millions of tracks with proper HiFi sound quality instead of relying solely on phones, Bluetooth speakers and earbuds.
Meanwhile, the vinyl-based system is all about slowing things down a little. Records, album artwork, physical collections and the experience of actually sitting down and listening to music properly remain a huge part of why so many people fall in love with HiFi in the first place.
The idea behind the competition is simple. The North West Audio Show wants to encourage more younger people into the hobby and show that HiFi is not just for older enthusiasts with huge budgets and rooms full of equipment.
Over recent years, the show has increasingly focused on making the event more welcoming and accessible to younger visitors, whether through affordable systems, headphones, streaming audio, live music, talks and demonstrations, or simply encouraging people to explore music in a more engaging way.
Entering is straightforward. Visitors simply need to attend the show on Sunday, be under 25 years old, and complete an entry form during the event. Winners will be announced at 5pm on Sunday and must be present to collect their prize.
Whether you are already into HiFi, curious about vinyl, obsessed with music, or just want to hear what your favourite albums can really sound like, this could be the perfect place to begin.
