The main show with all the traders and the family zone and costume groups is on SATURDAY and SUNDAY. These are GREAT for everyone as EVERYTHING Is going on. Families bring your children!
FRIDAY is a games day at the next door hotel. Anyone can turn up, find a table (or book into a Roleplaying game) and play. Although they may attend with adults, it is NOT ideal for younger children under 10 as there are no specific activities organised for them.

WHO?
Who runs UK Games Expo? It is organised by 4 main guys who are keen - call it fanatical - games players who wanted to run the UKs best games convention. We also rely on a host of volunteers of which there are too many to name here. All are UNPAID volunteers who help run the event because they like it to succeed. None of us are paid by UK Games Expo for running it. (Though we might get the odd free game out of it ;-) )
Who comes to UK Games Expo. In 2011 we had 2500 unique visitors and 3500+ attendances over the weekend. This includes many gamers of all types but also a large number of families and children. It is open to all and NOT restricted.
