East Anglia's tabletop crowd has a date for the diary: Norwich Games Convention returns on Saturday 22 August 2026, taking over the Norfolk Showground for a full day of gaming.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksThis year's con packs in over 80 exhibitors across 150 stands, a big open-gaming area and a board game library to raid if you fancy trying something before you buy. There is a full day of roleplaying games, tournaments and a Blood on the Clocktower session for the social-deduction faithful, plus a bring-and-buy for shifting the shelf of shame and a rare-item auction run by the con's own Orctioneer. Adult entry is GBP 11 with unlimited re-entry, ages 11 and under go free, and carers accompanying a ticket-holder get in free too. A slice of the proceeds goes to local charities The Benjamin Foundation and Feed The People.
RPG seats, tournaments and the Blood on the Clocktower game are limited-capacity add-ons booked in advance, so it is worth sorting your tickets early rather than turning up on the day and hoping.
Got a regular group? Create a private community, poll for the best date, vote on games, and let your friends RSVP in one place.
Set up your group for freeA one-day regional con like this is the sort of place a local group actually forms, over a shared game in the library or a bring-and-buy haggle. If you run a board game club anywhere near Norwich, it is a natural spot to gather your regulars, and you can set up a community and rally people before you go. And if 22 August does not work, there is always a game night closer to home to organise instead.
