Title: Good Wargames shows in London
Post by: Abbner Home on February 27, 2014, 10:29:36 AM

I'm considering a family trip to London and if we do it I really want to include a Saturday wargame show. I have a lot of flexibility but tentatively looking at right after Easter or mid July.

Any big shows happening in those time frames? Being an American who lives in South Africa I'm uniquely ignorant of the UK gaming scene (other than knowing it's awesome) so I'm not even sure what to google.

Any tips, dates, or show names to look up will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Salute on 12th April is the biggest show in the UK calendar, but that is a week before Easter: http://www.salute.co.uk/salute/salute-2014/

Nothing much in the London area for your timeframe I'm afraid.

This is as comprehensive a list of shows as you are likely to find:  http://www.newarkirregulars.org.uk/calendar2014.html

Thanks for the help -

I'm considering Salute on my own with promise I'll take the family in July for a wargame-free trip. But the airfare is more than I expected and I'm not sure I can justify.
