Are children welcome in role-playing games and other events?

All role-playing games will have an age limit that can be seen when buying tickets. Please check this before booking youngsters in. Most events will require a participating adult to be with children, especially those under 12.

For other live events, children are welcome, but please be aware that we cannot promise a complete absence of strong language, particularly in our evening events.

Can I bring my dog?

The trade hall tends to get very busy, so we don't recommend bringing animals into these areas.

Do I need convention entry tickets for events?

Yes. All events also require a General Entry ticket.

Do children need tickets?

Children ages 11 and under enter for free.

Is carer/assistant entry available?

We're able to offer free carer/assistant entry when accompanying an attendee who requires extra help — just speak with our staff when you arrive and they'll be happy to issue a carer/assistant ticket.

What time does the convention start and end?

Norwich Games Con 2026 will be taking place at Norfolk Showground from 10am–11pm and the trade hall will be open 10am–5pm.

Will there be a quiet room and/or other neurodiversity assistance available?

We've worked with consultants to try and make the convention as accessible as possible for our neurodiverse friends!

We have ear defenders and other useful items, and staff available to help with sensory overload and other issues on the day. Our door staff are perfectly placed to speak to about this, but feel free to approach any of our staff at any time.
