We want you to have a great weekend at the UK's Biggest and Best Hobby Games convention so here are a few hints and suggestions.

Read the site

There is a vast amount of information on our website too. So get browsing...

Your vote counts!

Don't worry- UKGE is not getting all political. This is about something far more interesting than a General Election! We need to decide who gets the awards for the best games and YOU get to play a part.

Next weekend your vote for the best new games can make a difference. Help choose who wins the UK Games Expo Best Games Awards. Pick up a voting form with your programme or from the Help Desk T4 and make sure you return it before noon on Sunday 4th June back to the help desk. The results are announced at 3pm on the main stage.
