Fun day out for the Family!
UK Games Expo has always aimed to build an event that anyone can attend from as young as around 4 upwards and enjoy as a family.
Cheap Tickets
Firstly we have always let any Primary School child (aged 10 and below) in for free. Then we have great value on Family Tickets where 2 Adults and 2 11 to 15 year old get have a full day's fun and games for just £30.
The Fuel their Imagination Family ZoneOver 300 sqm of space is allocated to the Fuel their Imagination Family Zone. In here are dedicated staff whose role is to find you games for your and your family to play together and enjoy. Simple games lasting minutes only or longer games - but all taught you so you need know nothing. There will be giant games too, carpet games and a craft area.

Children's Roleplaying Games
Children can experience the world of Roleplaying Games where they get to be the hero. Our group of dedicated Children Games Masters are back, with three different games on the go, so youngsters can pick their fate, or come back for a second or even a third helping.
The games are recommended for children aged Five to Twelve. No knowledge of rules is needed — just imagination and a willingness to learn. It is advisable to sign up early, as places fill up very quickly.
