Board Gaming Convention
Milton Keynes, UK
HandyCon is back!
After a prolonged absence, including the closure of our venue, a global pandemic and the birth of a HandyToddler we are finally back for a gaming day and a series of 3-day conventions read more in our update.
What is HandyCon?
HandyCon is a thrilling three-day board gaming convention that takes place four times a year in the vibrant city of Milton Keynes, UK. Founded by Paul Frohnsdorff-Harris, our convention has been bringing gamers together since 2017, and we’re thrilled to continue the tradition in our new location. Our mission is to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for board gamers of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just starting out, HandyCon offers the perfect platform to indulge in your passion for board games, meet fellow gamers, and have an unforgettable time.
Throughout the event, we have a variety of activities lined up for you. Engage in thrilling tournaments, participate in game demos to discover new favourites, and get the chance to meet talented game designers in person.
For a detailed schedule and more information about our upcoming event, please visit the respective pages dedicated to each event.
Due to the closure of Holiday Inn Maidenhead, we are relocating in 2023. The main Handycon events in 2023 will be located at the Delta Hotel, Milton Keynes.
