Here are a few photos I took on the day (8th February 2020). Held at the central location of Bournemouth beach centre. Just "general shots" rather than an in depth review. The main trader hall was large and well filled with 40 + trader stands. The second hall happened both days of the weekend and contained hundreds of gamers playing cards, fantasy and historical competitions. Very busy up until 10 at night. There were smaller side rooms and areas for cos play which were great to see. A show with a good mixture of many hobby aspects. Most historical games were 15mm, followed by 28mm and then 20mm. Not much 1/300th on show. The halls were well lit and easy to navigate. All on one level. Disabled access was good too. catering was fine but expensive (£2.55 for a bottle of Pepsi). This show is in its 4th year (?) and has become the biggest show (floor space) in the south of the UK. |
