Workshop: Manchester Game Centre

Manchester Game Centre: Games Workshop Research Day 2025

Manchester Game Centre is pleased to announce that our second annual Games Workshop Research Day is taking place on Saturday 11th October 2025!

For its second outing the event will run all day from 9:30 until 20:30 and has three parts. The morning will be dedicated to talks about Games Workshop’s games, the afternoon will be a ‘playable exhibition’ in which we pair gaming with presentations, and the day will conclude with a social evening of sporting mayhem as we come together to watch Blood Bowl played live.

Join us at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester for a day of talks and gaming. This event is free and is open to everyone. Places are limited.
