Second and Third Biggest UK Wargames Show

[armchairgeneral]

If Salute is the biggest wargames show in the U.K., what do people think the second and third biggest are?

[Lowtardog]

Not sure but I know Reading used to be a favourite, more ikely as it was where I used to get me chrimbo fix back in the day

[Wookington]

I would have thought Warfare (Reading) is up there, I've heard big things about Partizan(s) and Derby too though.

[Thargor]

Colours at Newbury (if it's still going) ?


Kind of hoping that Beachhead in Bournemouth will grow in size....very well attended last year and more traders and games planned this year.

What about Claymore in Edinburgh?

[Andym]

I think the Falkirk Wargames Show might be bigger/better than Edinburgh nowadays.

In terms of numbers through the door, trader numbers and games I'd think Derby Worlds and the re-invigorated Partizan shows myself. I'd think from experience Warfare and Claymore would miss the cut.

Thanks for the replies chaps. I thought Derby (which I go to every year as well as Salute). Not been to Partizan but it looks a good sized show.

It would be interesting to hear a traders view.

Bovington.  Life size King Tiger to climb on as you wargame

Hammerhead is also at Newark showground like Partizan but I believe this year is using two buildings, Partizan only uses one.
