At Ribble Board Game Convention we play all kinds of board, card and tabletop games! From the classics like Monopoly to complex strategy games like On Mars or Nucleum, there's something for everyone! We've space for wargames and RPGs too!

Yes of course! Please be mindful of where you are leaving your bags/crates/suitcases/trolleys of games to not block entrances, tables or fire exits.

At Ribble Board Game Convention we're all about playing board games and having fun. We ask that you're kind and considerate to all other attendees to make Ribble Board Game Convention feel friendly and welcoming.

We like to think Bill and Ted's law, "Be excellent to each other", covers all bases of what is expected as an attendee of Ribble Board Game Convention.

Ribble Board Game Convention is open from 9am on Thursday 7th January 2027 until 11:30pm and then 8am Friday (8th), Saturday (9th), Sunday (10th) until 11:30pm. The gaming rooms will be locked overnight.

There may be a limited number of tickets available, however, once all tickets have sold out there will be no more available. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance.

It's important to remember that every game won't be for everyone, and your favourite game may not be for everyone. Ribble Board Game Convention does not guarantee everyone who brings games to the convention will get them played, or that your favourite game EVER will be played.

There is plenty of car parking outside your accommodation or closer to the venue (all within a couple of minutes walk of each other) car parking is free for all attendees.

All cottages come with a kitchen which include fridge/freezer and microwave. The convention spaces do not have fridges or microwaves available.

The nearest bus stop is called Ribby Hall Entrance. To get from Kirkham and Wesham train station you'll want to catch the number 61 bus. To get from Preston bus station you'll also want to catch the number 61 bus.

For each game you would like to sell in the bring and buy you'll need to purchase a sticker (available under extras at £1 each). At the convention you'll receive stickers to place on your games with a space for a price, game name and your contact details. All games are left at owners risk and Ribble Board Game Convention accepts no responsibility for games placed in the bring and buy.

No - however, if anyone is seen to be listing an excessive number we will implement a cap per person. Games that are from a shop or business are prohibited for sale in the bring and buy.

The bring and buy is open from Thursday 10am - Sunday 3pm (during convention hours).

All games must be collected by 3:30pm on Sunday, any games left will be donated to the charity raffle - drawn at approx 5pm on Sunday.

All games not collected from the bring and buy by 3:30pm on Sunday 10th January, will be added to the charity raffle (drawn at approx 5pm on Sunday 10th January).

We believe that bring and buys should be made up of the stuff that actually might sell and be priced to sell, having a small discretionary charge covers the space and table hire, and hopefully encourages everyone to price their games to sell.
