The UK Games Expo is GETTING EVEN BIGGER 🤯
Due to the NEC's Hall 1 being unavailable, the new plan is to use Halls 2, 3, and 3a for Trade and Hall 4 for events and open gaming. This means an 11,000 sqm growth in space and a 5000 sqm growth in the Trade space!!
2023 was our BIGGEST expo to date! We have loved seeing all your photos - please keep tagging us, and we will get back to as many as we can!😀👏

It has been brought to our attention that two errors were made in run up to this year’s UKGE. Firstly an RPG scenario was rejected prior to this year’s show due to subject/theme of sexual orientation. Secondly, new GM’s did not receive their Volunteer Orientation training.

Kate is moving on at the end of the month. Our office will be quieter and less bouncy without her and we will miss her enthusiasm enormously. We wish her every success in her new venture and look forward to welcoming her back as an attendee or volunteer 😊. Keep on gaming girl.
Following 2023’s massive success on Kickstarter, EAT THE REICH - Rowan, Rook and Decard's game in which you are a vampire tasked with drinking all of Hitler’s blood - will be available at Stand 2-330. We expect to sell out pretty quickly, so arrive early to avoid disappointment!
