A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made yesterday such a great success!

We hope you all had as much fun as we did. There was a great buzz all day, and that's down to all of you ✨We'll get out some photos from the day very soon!

Today we are working on clearing out the Showground. We may take a few weeks to recover... but then it will be on for 2027, and our 5th year! 😮

We're working with local board game group NoBoG to make it easier to find people to game with in the open play area!

In addition to the familiar 'join-us' flag system, we've got the following this year:

1) We've arranged a space within the open gaming area, where you can gather if you want to meet up with others to game... there may even be a sofa...🛋️

You can naturally agree to play a game with others, but the NoBoG crew will also invite anyone there to join them for games.

2) If you see anyone with a ‘NoBoG’ logo in the gaming area, feel free to ask them about playing a game. Some of the crew will have their own, but there’s also an NGC library to choose from.

The NoBoG crew are a very friendly lot with lots of board game experience, and they can't wait to introduce you to all their favourites!

New holiday just dropped! 😄

It's the day before convention day... which for us means we're running around and making sure everything is perfect for when we see you all tomorrow!

We're so excited for tomorrow that we decided it should be designated our newest holiday. Unfortunately, we don't have the power to give everyone the day off... but you should know that we 100% would if we could 😉

See you tomorrow for an awesome day ✨

The Norfolk Showground is BIG! 😮

➡ So here's a little breakdown of where some of the outside things will be. If you're driving, you'll be coming via the main gate - just follow the signs for Norfolk Food Hall and carry on past to the Events Arena.

We'll have signs and people in luminous jackets to help point you in the right direction on the day, and as you walk from the car park you'll see Battle Sabres UK , an Escape Room/Van, Fools and Heroes LARP club, and our food stands... that's before you've even gotten inside!

Don't forget to get your ticket at norwichgames.uk - we'll see you all there! 🤩
