​Britcon 2023 : 11-13 August 2023 
​
Competition Tickets now on sale

The UK's Biggest Historical Wargames Convention, in the heart of the Lead Belt ​

Britcon encompasses three days of competition and organised play together with a two-day trade show, and in 2023 year will run over the Friday-Sunday of the weekend of 11-13 August, maintaining its longstanding "2nd weekend in August" date in the UK wargaming calendar. 
​ 
The venue at Nottingham Trent is one of the largest and most modern (ie well lit and ventilated!) spaces that an UK Wargames convention take splace in, allowing us to stage all of the main competition events together in a single space as well as opening up a significant expansion into more non-competition gaming and a much larger trade show floor as well.   
 
This year Britcon will welcome competitors in over 20 different historical competitions and rulesets, with rulesets including To The Strongest!, Bataille Empire, DBA, L'Art de la Guerre, Saga, Mortem et Gloriam and The official Bolt Action English Nationals.

Weekend participants have the opportunity to stay on-site in our student-priced B&B accommodation - there is also a student-priced onsite bar too - allowing our gaming period to run over a variety of different timelines and formats across either a full the "Friday night + 8-8 gaming Saturday + more games on Sunday" timeline, or more traditional 1 and 2 day events and formats. In 2023 accommodation will be bookable direct from the BHGS along with your gaming event ticket

We are also working with the Nottingham Wargames Club and the Nottingham Board & Wargames Club (and Collective!) to support the event and run the Bring and Buy at the weekend tradeshow

We look forward to seeing you in Nottingham! 
Britcon 2023 will take place over the weekend of 11-13 August 2023, at Nottingham Trent Uni City Campus (the same venue as last year)

Tickets to the competitions at this year’s BHGS Challenge @ UK Games Expo have just gone live on the UK Games Expo website. 

This year we will be running events for :
  • DBMM (15mm)
  • L’Art de la Guerre (25mm & 15mm)
  • Epic Armageddon

All three events will run across the 3rd & 4th June in Hall 3 at Games Expo, the UK’s biggest tabletop gaming event, and can now be bought direct from the UK Games Expo website. 

To play you need to purchase a ticket for the competition (via the UKGE "Events" page) plus a visitor pass to UK Games Expo covering at least the two weekend days. If you are attending other events at UKGE, or coming with friends and family there are many other types of passes (3 days, family entry etc) available to extend your visit.

Full details of the competition themes for these three events are available on the BHGS website.

We look forward to seeing you across the tabletop at the NEC this coming June when we will again be part of this truly amazing festival of tabletop gaming!
