UK Games Expo

UK Games Expo (UKGE) is the United Kingdom's largest annual hobby games convention and trade fair, established in 2007 and traditionally held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) and Hilton Birmingham Metropole in Birmingham. It has grown to become the world's third-largest event of its kind, showcasing a diverse range of tabletop games including board games, role-playing games, card games, miniature wargames, and family games. Organised by UK Games Expo Ltd., it serves as a major hub for the UK and international gaming community.

The event features extensive trade halls with hundreds of exhibitors, offering game demonstrations, new product releases, and playtesting opportunities for upcoming titles.

A special thanks to Vortex Verlag for sponsoring Geek Native’s coverage of UK Games Expo. You can meet them at stand 3A-758 and find out about the exciting new Serenissima Obscura crowdfunding campaign.
