Warhammer Fest 2023 Is Coming and It’s Going To Be the Biggest Warhammer Event Ever

Get ready for the Warhammer experience of a lifetime – Warhammer Fest 2023 is coming to the UK for a massive three-day event from the 29th of April next year.

Forget what you know about Warhammer Fests of yore – 2023’s event will be the largest, most incredible celebration of the Warhammer hobby the world has ever seen. Taking place at the 10,000-capacity Manchester Central venue, this unmissable event will immerse you in the Warhammer universe with fun, interactive experiences while you catch huge new reveals and enjoy live entertainment in an 800-seat auditorium.

Browse the Warhammer Fest shop – which includes a huge range of products, plus event-exclusive miniatures, Forge World products, and loads of merch from our partners. Dive into scores of events for your favourite Warhammer settings, with multiple major tournaments, including our largest official Warhammer 40,000 tournament in the UK in 2023. On top of that, the legendary Golden Demon will also return – so get planning your entry.

You can even hone your painting skills alongside fellow fans and creators from around the world with Hang Out and Hobby Live, test your skills at a Kill Team-themed laser tag event, or check out some of the best cosplay and Warhammer costuming around.

Tickets go on sale from the 11th of November 2022, so head over to the Warhammer Fest website for more information and start planning your next hobby holiday.

The Warhammer Fest web page will be continuously updated with more details about the event, so keep checking back for the latest information. You can also make sure you stay right up-to-date by signing up to our newsletter today.

I've always said that you're the best Looter and obtainer of shiny things...

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Hahaha! There may be Looting.

But only May. The packaging is a drag, though printing it straight from PayPal has eased it somewhat.

If only it was a week later, I'd be back in the UK with time off to catch up on and a pocket full of cash, all ready to burn.

Ok, now that looks more likely a 10th ed reveal opportunity.

Looking forward to the anouncement of The old world at the event

Golden demon already? Did we not just had one?

Manchester is way out of my way I'm afraid.

Isn't the event like 8 months away? That should be enough time, no?

We've had one, yes. What about second golden demon?

Well, three days. Game Weekend.

Im all for it, in the past there was multiple in multiple countries and the gap here is closer to half a year than the typical IIRC one year.

So 3 days makes this a bit more pricey for me - hotel stay required, unlike previous years.

I am guessing the 3 days each have different talks/seminars/reveals but do we think we'd miss much if we just went for 1 day?

If memory serves…..different seminar topics on different days, Golden Daemon on the Sunday.

I’m very unlikely to go for the whole weekend, but I’ll await a clearer schedule of things before deciding which day I want to go.

Despite the name being singular, more often than not Games Day was an all weekend affair up until the final few years.

I live in MCR and three days of it would be too much for me I would expect there not being enough to do to fill more than a day unless you attend every talk, or have very deep pockets.
