Some people drop by for a few hours; others spend a few days… so how long would you like your visit to take?
If you browse the retail store, pick up ideas from the Exhibition centre, admire the gaming tables in the Events Hall, chat with staff and enjoy the delicious Bugman’s food, you’ll easily fill four hours to half a day. If you bring armies for gaming, hobby projects to work on, or get involved in an event, then a full day or whole weekend lies ahead of you!
– Some large events mean we have to make Warhammer World ticket entry only and are closed unless you have bought an event ticket. These days are indicated in red on our service changes.
– Entrance to the miniatures and displays in the Exhibition Centre is ticketed, with tickets available to purchase at Warhammer World, or in advance online.
– If you’re taking part in one of our ticketed events, you’ll need to purchase a ticket in advance.
– If you’re coming a very long way, or are a large group wanting to enjoy your own games, then we suggest you contact us in advance to check gaming table availability.
Many non-hobbyists are pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoy visiting Warhammer World, as they see how excited their friends and family are, and the gaming tables and Exhibition displays show what a highly skilled and creative hobby it is.
Also, Bugman’s offers excellent cakes and coffee, and a free WiFi connection, so is a perfect place to relax and indulge, while the gaming takes place next door.
Games Workshop’s miniatures and games are intended for age 12 +, but visitors of any age are welcome! Our ticketed events give details for any age guidelines or restrictions where necessary. Visitors 16 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
Games Workshop cannot take legal responsibility or guardianship for children who stay in Warhammer World (for any length of time). That will always remain with parents/guardians of those children. Please consider this before leaving any children you are responsible for at Warhammer World.
Warhammer World is an open public venue, and also a licensed premises. Our staff are always happy to help, and we have CCTV to provide extra customer security, but not all areas are staffed at all times.
We’re often asked if we can arrange meeting a member of Games Workshop staff. The folks who write, design, create and paint, and the people you see on Warhammer TV and YouTube are all busy working, so can’t take time out to come and say hello – they would never get any work done!
If you want to meet our creative teams to pick their brains or just let them know you love what they do, look out for events like Open Days, Warhammer Fest and other large events.
You can take cheesy snaps for your own personal use, to show your friends where you’ve been, but no commercial use is allowed. By commercial use, we mean anything where you’ll make a profit, so if your blog or YouTube channel has adverts on it, that’s commercial.
We don’t allow any filming on our premises, so please keep to still photography, and not recording.
Warhammer World is here for our hobbyists to enjoy their hobby, and both they and we would rather this wasn’t interrupted. We don’t permit research, reporting or similar on any Games Workshop premises, and ask you to respect this.
If you need to travel light, you may not be able to bring your army with you. Because everyone has their own preferences for army lists, and it would need a storeroom almost as big as our hobby centre to keep all the variations of miniatures in, we don’t provide armies to borrow.
Bugman’s is a fully licensed bar providing a range of sweet and savoury snacks, filling food and drinks. You’ll be refreshed and ready for battle, or able to relax after a long day!
As with most venues, we ask that you don’t bring your own food or drink. See more details on their page.
If you want to game at an event dressed as the general for your army, or just show your love of a certain character, we do have some rules.
– Costumes must be inspired by or relate to the worlds and universes created by Games Workshop.
– Costumes must not be comprised, in whole or in part, of any real (or realistic) equipment of any military unit in existence after 1900. This especially applies to camouflage clothing, helmets etc. Costumes that indicate allegiance or affiliation with any real political or military movement are strictly forbidden.
– Costumes must not utilise, in whole or in part, any real, scaled or replica weapons.
– Costumes must be designed with health and safety and public decency in mind.
