Everyone is welcome to exhibit at the gaming market – from established online stores to individuals selling off their duplicate games. Tables cost just £80 and can be booked by contacting us to request a booking form.
You are welcome to arrive before your ticket entry time as we know you’re keen to start buying, however we ask that you do not arrive too far in advance!
Yes. Doors will open at 11:00 for people who have bought advance tickets online. Second door entry will commence at 12:00 giving advance entry attendees a full hour before everyone else.
Our priority at opening will be to get everyone through the doors as quickly as possible and this will include ‘pre-processing’ of those who already have tickets. This will be done by scanning tickets prior to opening.
Advance entry tickets cost £7.00 plus booking fee. 12:00/13:00 tickets cost £5.00 plus booking fee and 14:00 tickets cost £3.50 plus booking fee. They are all available on the tickets page.
General entry tickets will be available on the door as well as online.
To prevent overcrowding we will be introducing a one-in-one-out system during busy times with priority given to pre-booked tickets.
Tickets will go on sale on 5th December 2024.
On-the-door entry will be from 14:00. The price will be £3.50 per adult . Under 16s go free after 14:00.
You can either purchase general entry tickets online or just turn up and pay on the door from 14:00.
We will have a separate queue for on-the-door sales and priority will be given to pre-booked tickets.
Yes. Everyone will get a wristband on entry to the venue which will allow re-entry at any time.
Please be aware that during peak times we will be operating a one-in-one-out system and you may have to join a re-entry queue to get back in, however priority will be given to anyone who already has a wristband.
The venue has ample pay and display car parking spaces which are operated on a first come, first served basis.
Yes, a carer/PA will be admitted free of charge with a paying disabled attendee – this only applies to standard 13:00 door entry.
Under 16s do not need to pay to enter when accompanied by a full paying adult after 14:00.
If you wish to bring a child over 5 years of age for any other door, a ticket must also be purchased for each child attending.
Under 5s are free at any time.
We are unable to offer refunds for pre-paid tickets, but you are welcome to give them to a friend or family member.
Photography and video is permitted, however we ask that you do not bring large cameras and equipment that will cause a trip hazard or disrupt others enjoyment of the show.
