open play gaming

Aside from the organised tournaments, participation games and demos that are running all weekend, we also wanted to provide a space at the Expo for you to play the games that you love.

We will have numerous tables available as designated “Open Play” zones where you can either sit and share your favourite tabletop, boardgames and TCGs with friends or grab something from our gaming library. You’ll also be handily positioned next to the Shade fantasy tearoom for when you need to grab a drink or a slice of cake.

Hobby Hive is also providing a range of wargaming tables if that’s more your speed. These will be bookable at the Hobby Hive trade stand on the day.

There is no prebooking for these tables but if you arrive and want a space, just talk to one of the event staff and we can check bookings on the day and make sure we find you a space.
