Om konventet:

Tony Hyams, Richard Denning and the whole UKGE team welcomes you to the 2021 UK Games Expo. This is the UK's annual celebration of tabletop gaming but follows the dark period of pandemic that still affects much of the world including the UK. This last 15 months or so have been so hard on everyone, whether you are a gamer, a trader, a volunteer or one of our sponsors. We have worked hard all year, but particularly these last few months, with our sponsors and partners to bring you the very best games, experiences, live entertainment, tournaments and opportunities for a great day or weekend out. We invite you to leave the world behind you and just come and have fun. Let the games begin!

A word about safety. All safety guidance, rules and regulations can be found up to date and in detail on the UKGE website: www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/plan/ before-the-expo/playwithconfidence/

UK Games Expo occupies around 25,000 sqm of space. There are some 200 exhibitors, over a hundred roleplaying events, along with a range of tournaments and live entertainment events, a schedule of seminars and workshops, cosplayers and a Viking village. So, a lot to explore and enjoy.

If it seems a bit bewildering, we have got you covered. Before you head into the halls, grab a drink, put your feet up and take a moment to read through the Guide section of the programme in order to help you get the most out of your visit. In these pages we detail the exhibitors, events, seminars and more, all of which you can enjoy during your time with us. There is a detailed map of the Trade hall on pages 22-23.

Follow us, if you would, around the UK Games Expo as we describe where you can find all the fun and games.

NEC Hall 2 is our trade hall where you will find represented every type of tabletop game. On the right of the entrance there is a help desk and the official UKGE merchandise stand. Over on the left side is the Publisher Designer development area which includes Playtest UK and university department design areas. In the centre of the hall is the Coiledspring Family zone and the Children's Roleplaying area. Towards the rear you will find our Main Stage and the Cosplay zone.

Hall 3 is home to a large Open Gaming space near the entrance. In the centre is our Boardgame Library and an event desk, where you can buy tickets for the various fun activities we have going on this weekend. There is also a Food Court in this Hall. Further away from the entrance is the tournament zone where some of the more competitive gainers in the hobby will be battling it out - and where you can even enter yourself just for the fun of it!
The Toute Suite outside NEC Hall 1 is home to our Live Entertainment shows. The Piazza Suite across the way from the Hall 2 entrance is where the seminars and the Publisher & Designer track activities take place. The Piazza suite is also home to the roleplaying games this year. Pick up tickets at the event desk or buy online.

The lakeside area between the NEC, Resort World and the Hilton Metropole Hotel is where you will find the Viking Village. Here you can have a close encounter with a Viking, watch them do battle or even challenge them to a game!

UKGE is a great place to walk around and see everything to do with tabletop gaming, whether that means board games, role playing games, family games, miniatures gaming, party games or card games. The choice is yours!
If you are new to UKGE and haven't played many games before, don't worry! There are many tables in the exhibitor stands where you can sit down and try out games, and you don't need to know all the rules. Alternatively, head for the open gaming area and borrow some games from the board game library and get gaming.

And if you're still feeling a bit lost, head to the help desk in Hall 2 or the help desk or Event desk in Hall 3 and ask for advice or just flag down one of our 'Blue Shirt' Ambassadors, who will be happy to help you out.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and have fun.
