UK Board Games Expo 2025, NEC

UK Games Expo 2025, NEC

Meet: Saturday 31st May @ 11am
Venue: The National Exhibition Centre, B40 1NT, Birmingham
Annual festival weekend promoting tabletop games. A number of our members attend each year, and usually play or pick up some interesting new board games on the market.

Meeting Others
The festival will run over 3 days (Fri-Sun), and our proposal is that our group members have an opportunity to meet up and attend at the same time (rather than everyone miss each other because we have stubbornly all chosen to go at different times).

We propose meeting at 11:00 on Saturday Morning, staying for around 4-6 hours, although this can be firmed up nearer the time.

In recent years over 25000 gamers have attended (allegedly or at some point) from all over the UK. We in the West Midlands are lucky in that we don't have to think about accommodation, though parking can be a nuisance if you are not a public transport person.

We do not appoint a specific person to host, in the grandiose manner of what this word implies for the simple reason of the impracticality of maintaining contact throughout. However we encourage those attending to share this responsibility by imparting their plans below so others can look out for you.
