Back for it's third year with an improved lineup of workshops, panels and more activities than ever, the BTE promises to be a real experience for all ages!
Wargaming, Boardgames, Scale Model, Tabletop RPGs, Model Railway, Scratchbuilding, Painting and Dioramas.
A curated trader list that minimises on resellers and puts the spotlight on more independent creators, sculptors, writers and designers as well as increasing the space and opportunity for gaming, demos, painting, scratch-building and more.
The Bring and Buy makes a return alongside the Hobby Hive Tabletop Exchange for even more opportunity to find a bargain as well as free parking on site, refreshments available throughout the venue and a cheaper entrance fee than 2024!
