Britcon - Manchester
2016-08-12 12:00 - 2016-08-14 18:00 (Europe/London) | The University of Manchester, Barnes Wallis Building, Manchester, M1 3NL
What is Britcon?
Britcon …

… is the UK’s biggest multi-period, multi-ruleset wargames competition
… has events in over a dozen different rulesets and periods for you to take part in
… offers onsite Student accommodation and an onsite bar all priced at discounted “university” rates
… includes one of the North West’s largest 2-day wargames tradeshows
… is held in Manchester only steps away from from Piccadilly Station

Yes, the largest event in the BHGS calendar will be returning to the now-familiar surroundings of UMIST in (always-sunny) Manchester over the Friday-Sunday of 12-14th August 2016.

What else to look out for…?

Prices Frozen – astonishingly yes, after another good year we are able to keep the entry prices flat yet again.
The return of the Britcon Fiver – we will hand back £5 per player (for all of the 2-day periods) n the form of the very popular “£5 off any £10 purchase with any trader” deal.
Same better layout – we are keeping the extra gaming room, which will allow us to keep growing all of the existing periods including “Saga” and “Bolt Action” , “40k” and introducing new Ancients periods for Britcon – DBA, L’Art de la Guerre and Mortem et Glorium.
Accomodation still optional – We’ve negotiated some great rates at UMIST for a variety of standards of rooms – all still in stumbling distance of the venue and bar as usual, but you are totally free to book and stay elsewhere if you wish – if you are prepared to walk 10 minutes we heard of hotels with rates as low as £17/night last year, so look around. If you do want to stay onsite there will soon be a separate booking portal to book the UMIST rooms that you will be taken to once you confirm your Britcon entry.
