All the UK and International traders you love will be attending the show and many ambitious wargaming clubs will be putting on demonstration and participation games to enjoy in our Game Zones (scroll down to see who’s attending).

And, if you’re one of the first 5000 guests to arrive you will receive our legendary and exclusive Goodie Bag, with this year’s unique SALUTE 53 themed miniature and lots of other goodies!

Our world-class Painting Competition has amazing entries every year and there will be expert, special guest judges presenting our prestigious and thematic SALUTE Shields!

Also returning this year is our celebrity panels show: Hobby Heroes! Come and meet the authors of your favourite games and get top tips from famous painters, hobbyists, historians and wargamers from our main stage.

Throughout the day we’ll also have chances to win prizes from our incredible exhibitors who will be hosting painting workshops, wargaming demos, learn-to-plays, participation games, and more!

We look forward to seeing you there!
