A board games event is returning to York for a third year with more space and activities.
The York Board Games Convention will take place from October 23 to 25, at St Peter’s School, offering three days of tabletop gaming, tournaments, and family-friendly entertainment.
In 2025, the event reached full capacity, prompting organisers to increase the size of this year’s convention.
Ryan Willis, founder of the York Board Games Convention (YBGC), said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing the York Board Games Convention back for its third year.
"Last year was a phenomenal success, and seeing our gaming space reach full capacity was proof of just how vibrant the gaming community is here.
"This year, we’re focused on making the event bigger, better, and more accessible."
Tickets go on sale at midday on June 4 for those on the early access list and include a 20 per cent discount for bookings made within the first 24 hours.
To keep the event family-friendly, children aged 16 and under can attend for free.
Matt Coward-Gibbs, co-director of YBGC, said: "We’re excited to be able to grow and welcome new people to tabletop gaming each year."
Personal assistants can also attend free of charge.
