Running from 04 to 06 September 2026, this 3 day festival will bring together thousands of fans of board games, role-playing games, miniatures, card games, and hobby gaming for a weekend of play, community and discovery.
Whether you’re a lifelong gamer or looking for a memorable family day out, there’s something for everyone.
New this year is the introduction of a dedicated screen-free Family Zone, which features interactive games that boost logic and numeracy skills through play. Borrow and play hundreds of games, with friendly volunteers ready to teach you the rules, from the Open Board Game Library, or join the UK’s Largest D&D RPG scheduled Dungeons & Dragons sessions, which are tailored for both beginners and veterans.
Plus, they’ll be over 130 exhibitors, showcasing a range of indie game creators, unique artwork, and major international publishers.
