The best board gaming weekend in the UK is finally back!

After two very successful events in 2006 and 2007, there is a new venue for this year, which meets the organiser’s (rather fussy) requirements of being light, clean, airy, and above all family-friendly.

Among other things, there will be:

– A massive games library of approximately 500 titles (or more)

– A shop at the venue where snacks and drinks can be bought

– Other places to eat and drink within easy walking distance

– A hotel for those that need to stay overnight also within very easy walking distance.

– Colour name badges (including BGG avatars, if required) for all weekend tickets booked in advance!

– A free game with every £15 weekend ticket booked in advance!

Don’t miss out on the most fun pure board gaming event of the year! You can book tickets here or just turn up on the day.
