UK Games Expo 2022 will run on 3 – 5 June. It will occupy halls 1, 2 and 3 of the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, with part of the activities taking place at the Hilton Hotel. The event is the biggest hobby games convention in the United Kingdom, and its previous edition became one of the first hobby games shows to return in physical format since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisers reported 10,671 unique visitors during the 15th UK Games Expo (UKGE) – a great turnout given the unusual circumstances.
Another reason for optimism is the return of the Hall of Fame during the UKGE 2022 dates. Paused for two years, the UK Games Hall of Fame will again present the most influential minds in the games industry – board game designers, publishers, manufacturers, authors.
The upcoming UK Games Expo 2022 will bring together exhibitors and industry professionals at the traditional Show preview, where companies will demonstrate their newest games and products in front of buyers, retailers and the media. The Publisher-Designer Speed Dating sessions will also be continued. Each session will be focused on different genres (at the 15th UKGE their focal points were respectively: Euro/American style and strategic games and Family/abstract and party games).
Established and emerging publishers – Iello, Osprey Games, Blue Orange, Scorpion Masque, Mighty Boards, Fantasy Flight Games and many more - will join UKGE 2022. The variety of board, dice and card games, roleplaying games, miniatures and accessories will be complemented by tournaments and awards.

The hotel was excellent for our needs. Its location was perfect!!
I wish to thank you for you great service and support.
Thanks so much for following up! We were very happy with the customer service we received from you (Thank you so much for always providing quick follow-up and for recommending the Nikko!), the ease of booking (particularly during a pandemic), and the wonderful communication through-out the year. We are definitely interested in using you for securing accommodations for next year’s MEDICA.
In regards to the Nikko Dusseldorf, it is now number one on our list due to quality, proximately to rail, pricing, etc
I found Expobeds service easy to use and helpful, and I appreciated the personal touch of being contacted directly with reminders of deadlines and the like. I don't have any criticism to offer. I stayed at the Maritim Hotel Frankfurt. It was appropriate - it's proximity to the Messe Grounds was very valuable, and the room I booked met my needs. It's a tiny bit far away from other interesting things to do in Frankfurt, but that's an adequate trade off for its proximity to the Messe.
