Event Information

Northants Board Game Convention returns for 2025!

The 2025 convention will take place over two days - Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd August at Kettering Arts Centre.
There will be two 5-hour sessions each day for only £6 per person per session..
Don't worry, if you book both sessions for one day, you don't need to leave between the sessions!

We are bringing together board gamers from across the county in this fun social gaming experience.

There will be over 400 games to play on the day from the Boards of Kettering CIC board game library, attendees can bring their own to play too. There will be demonstrations of games to learn how to play, vendors selling board game-related wares, a Bring and Buy section for pre-used games, and competitions, tournaments and raffle.

We are inviting budding game creators who want to play test their game designs.

For those with sensory differences, there will also be quiet and less crowded rooms for those who need a peaceful place to play.

Kettering Arts Centre has its own licensed bar and there will be delicious food vendors too.

The event is organised by Boards of Kettering CIC, a not for profit company formed by Gavin Price, Dez Dell and Polly Shackleton who are all avid fans of board games. They host a monthly board games cafe night in Kettering and retail board games in Northampton and Kettering.
