What’s On @ ManorCon
There’s plenty to do at ManorCon. As events are confirmed we’ll add all the details to this page.
Open Gaming
All Event
There will be plenty of Open Gaming Space available to accommodate everybody. Be sure to check out the map on arrival so you know your way around the different gaming spaces.
The best way to organise a game in advance is to use AfterGame. Simply join the ManorCon group, then the 2026 event, then advertise the game you want to play. Whilst at ManorCon you’ll be able to use AfterGame either through the web or the app version to communicate with the players in your game to makes sure you can all gather together in the same place.
Also look out for the Players Wanted signs which can be used to draw attention to your game if you’re looking for more players.

Ron will be back with the Games Shop, go to Meeple World to look at his stock, although message him to see if he can get a particular title.
