With January now (finally..!) behind us, and with the sight of early daffodils prompting the discerning wargamer to ponder "hmm.. yellow-flowered grass tufts might look good for my next army?” .. this inexorable changing of the seasons can surely only mean one thing...
Now is the ideal time to sign up for Britcon 2026!
Yes, the BHGS event calendar is up and running for 2026 with Britcon tickets now on sale.
This year Britcon returns to our new venue at De Montfort University in the UK's "Curry Capital" of Leicester, and also to our traditional ‘second weekend in August’ slot of the 7th-8th August.
We've pretty much got the full roster of events all sorted for Britcon this year, with the following periods and competitions for this year all now open for bookings.
Click on the links to see details of the themes for all of these events and start planning your gaming (and curry-eating!) at Britcon's new home in Leicester for the highlight of the wargaming summer.
This year at Britcon we have also managed to secure a (rather limited) number of onsite Student Rooms in the accommodation block right next to the venue which can be booked as an “extra” in addition to any gaming ticket. These rooms are all singles and are grouped in “flats” of 6-8 rooms, with each flat sharing a kitchen, toilets and showers. We’ll aim to group players from the same club or gaming period together in each “flat” when we send the final rooming list to the Uni.
