Warhammer Fest 2023 Is the First Place You Can Play the New Edition of Warhammer 40,000

In just under a month, the doors will be opening on Warhammer Fest, the biggest official Warhammer event in the world. This three-day celebration of all things Warhammer kicks off on Saturday the 29th of April at the 10,000-capacity Manchester Central venue. There’s a ton of stuff going on – and it’ll also be the first place you can get to grips with the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.

There will be demo games run throughout to teach you first-hand about all the exciting changes coming in the new edition. And that isn't all - you'll get to see all the new miniatures available in the massive new launch box in person.

A showcase of the new Warhammer 40,000 is just one of the many things you can look forward to at Warhammer Fest. We’ll also be revealing a ton of incredibly cool stuff for most of our other game systems on the day.

There are special Multiplayer Show Up and Play Scenarios hosted by our Games Masters, and a chance to join fellow hobbyists and paint free miniatures at the Community Paint & Take. If you need some inspiration, you can check out all the entries to the prestigious Golden Demon and Mega Armies on Parade competitions.

You can relax and play Warhammer Underworlds and other Warhammer board games at the Popup Warhammer Board Gaming Bar & Café or go hands-on with a range of licensed Warhammer products, including booths demoing Warhammer video games.
