We are pleased to announce that the third annual Games Workshop Research and Play Convention (note the new name) is taking place on Saturday 19th September 2026 at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester. Games Workshop has been at the forefront of tabletop gaming for over five decades, producing some of the most culturally significant games, miniatures, and fictional worlds in the hobby’s history. GWRPC brings together researchers, players, and designers to explore Games Workshop’s games and their wider legacies, welcoming contributions from all disciplinary backgrounds.

This event is free and open for all members of the public, staff and students to attend (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). However, places are limited. Book a free ticket here.
