Video games, board games, slot games, card games – you name it, there’s a convention for it. Hundreds of gaming conventions now pop up across the UK every year, allowing like-minded players, traders and gaming gurus to get together and celebrate the kind of games that float their boat.

Those into fantasy table top games like Dungeons & Dragons or GURPS, for instance, can check out the UK Games Expo. Held at the NEC Birmingham, it’s a 3-day event packed with talks, tournaments and cosplay. This year’s Expo kicks off on Friday 31st May, and tickets are now available to buy online. Glued to your Xbox or PlayStation 4? EGX will be right up your street. This huge exhibition at the ExCeL London is about all things video gaming.

Visitors can and hear more about the latest consoles and gadgets, and even play a few video games before they hit the shop shelves. It’s not happening until October, but tickets are already selling out fast. We’d recommending acting quick if you don’t want to miss out.
