The Great Yorkshire Geek Meet
A fantastic day of board games, RPGs, tournaments, traders, painting, bring & buy, food and a licensed bar. Something for everyone!
Whether you're completely new to board games or a lifelong gamer, there's something here for everyone.
Discover local businesses, geek culture shops and unique traders selling games, gifts and collectibles.
Friendly hosts, welcoming regulars and a warm atmosphere that makes newcomers feel at home from the moment they arrive.
Join us for a welcoming day of board games, roleplaying games, mini painting and social gaming. Whether you’re an experienced gamer or you’ve never rolled a dice before, there’s something here for everyone. The event is family friendly throughout the day, with social and strategy gaming continuing into the evening.
A full day of tabletop gaming, painting and social fun for all ages and experience levels.
Drop in and play a game with friends, or pull up a chair at a table of new faces. Bring your own favourites or try something from the games library on the day.
Join a one-shot adventure run by an experienced game master — no character or experience required, just turn up ready to roll. Advance booking gives early access to reserve a place.
A social deduction game of secrets, bluffing and betrayal for a table of townsfolk. Sessions are limited, so book in advance to reserve your seat.
Sit down and paint a miniature at your own pace. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned painter, there's space and help on hand.
Casual, welcoming competitive play throughout the day. Come for the challenge, stay for the company — all skill levels welcome.
Browse stalls from independent Yorkshire traders, and buy, sell or trade board games, miniatures and gaming gear with other attendees.
Food will be available on site throughout the event, so you won't need to leave to refuel between games.
The bar is open all day and into the evening, as social and strategy gaming continues after the family-friendly session winds down.
11:00am – 5:00pm
5:00pm – 9:30pm
The evening is perfect for longer games, organised sessions and spending more time around the table with fellow gamers.
