We are delighted to confirm that Lard Workshop is returning to Britcon in 2026, bringing this "Official” Lardy Games Day to Leicester for the first time. Lard Workshop 2026 will feature TFL dignitaries Richard Clarke, Nick Skinner and Sidney Roundwood running games and organized on their behalf by Don Avis.
As before, the event will take place as part of the Britcon Show over its traditional weekend of 7th- 9th August with Lard Workshop taking place on Saturday 8th August from 9.30am.
Currently 14 great games are already lined up covering all the big Lardy favourites including Chain of Command, Sharp Practice, Infamy Infamy, Midgard and General D’Armee2 amongst others, and we expect to have around 50 spots available for gamers - and in previous years the event has sold out with a reserve list established for any late cancellations
One of the most pleasing aspects of the three previous Lard Workshops has been the number of “new to Lard” gamers. All you need to do is turn up and play some of the fantastic games from the Too Fat Lardies stable, with everything provided by the Games Masters from figures, terrain, rules, dice, and tape measures (plus tactical advice). You just need to bring a fun attitude – many attendees use these days to “try before you buy” and learn the rules from the experts, who in many cases are the Rules Authors themselves!
There will be two sessions, morning and afternoon, and nearer the date you will be asked to supply your three preferences as to which game or rules system you would like to play. In the last three Workshops, everyone has got two of their three preferences (but of course this isn’t guaranteed!).
