Britcon 2015 2 DAY TRADE SHOW – 10.00am Saturday 8th August – 3.00pm Sunday 9th August

Britcon is a 3-day wargaming event which has now been running annually since 1997. It features almost 200 players competing (gently...) in a host of different competitions taking place over the weekend, mainly in  historical periods such as FoG, FoW, Bolt Action, Saga and DBMM but also featuring WH40k, Epic and Guildball.

On Saturday and Sunday Britcon also hosts a free-to-enter Wargames Trade Show. The show is by no means "Salute! with added Boddingtons", but we like to think of it as a very friendly event where the traders and demo players have time to chat – and we do also have a cracking Bring & Buy as well as a student-prices bar only yards from Manchester's mainline train station.

Traders participating and represented at Britcon include:

AINSTY CASTINGS
