A weekend of open gaming, family-friendly activities, game previews and more awaits you at Doncaster Racecourse on 14-15th February!
Whether you’re into board gaming, RPGs, trading card games, miniatures or card games – or you’re brand new to the hobby and looking for a friendly place to start! – there’s something for everyone at Tabletop Gaming Live 2026.
Shop games and accessories from your favourite board game brands – from the majors to indie designers and retailers. Plus, join us for hands-on demos and exclusive workshops, as you meet the people behind the games you love.
If you’re coming to play, you’ll want to check out our open gaming space. We’re open until 10pm on the Saturday, giving you plenty of time for gaming – even if you tangle with something as weighty as Twilight Imperium.
Don’t have a game to hand? Try one from our board game library to explore new titles, discover hidden gems or revisit classics with your friends.
And if that open gaming space gets busy, we expect to see those tables and chairs in the Food Court playing host to more than handmade pies from Piglet’s Pantry or the katsu curry chicken strips of Chick n Mix.
At previous Tabletop Gaming Live events we’ve invited you into the historic halls of London’s Alexandra Palace and the less-than-historic depths of a nightclub in Manchester. Don’t worry, we heard your feedback and we know which one of those you preferred!
In 2026, we’re heading to Doncaster Racecourse in South Yorkshire. While you won’t be placing any bets on the 14th-15th February 2026, you will be enjoying the purpose-built events space beneath the grandstand. From the ticket barriers leading directly into the main arena (as seen on the video below), you’ll be whisked into a world of gaming greatness populated by a host of varied brands – both big and small.
Hands-on demos from top brands: Try out the latest releases from names you trust, including big publishers like Asmodee and Hachette as well as exciting indie designers. It is your chance to try before you buy!
Exclusive trader deals: Love what you demo? Our traders will offer event-only deals so you can buy the game you try right there at the show.
Meet the Makers: It is not just about playing. Learn something new by meeting the people behind the games, picking up tips and techniques, or getting a peek behind the curtain of game design.
Dedicated Family Zone: Our Family Zone is the perfect place for children to enjoy the excitement of tabletop gaming alongside their parents. Packed with age-appropriate games, activities and friendly staff, it offers fun for all ages while making sure children are entertained and included throughout the event.
Food, fun and community: Take a break at our food court, swap stories with other gamers, join impromptu games in the open area, or simply soak up the buzz. The event is as much about the people you meet and the games you share as the games themselves.
Shop the best accessories and add-ons: Aside from full games, traders and retailers will be bringing accessories, expansions, deluxe editions and more. It is the perfect place to enhance your collection or grab that extra bit of flair.
