🎮 Game over? Not quite...

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for Norwich Games Festival 2026 and helped make 23–30 May an incredible week of gaming, creativity and community. Huge thanks to our visitors, contributors, developers, partners, volunteers and our lead partner Norwich University of the Arts for making NGF possible.

From discovering indie games from exciting new developers, battling it out over tabletop and board games, and jumping into physical gaming experiences, to revisiting retro favourites, it’s been amazing seeing so many people play, explore, learn and connect throughout the week.

Norwich Games Festival and The Forum, Norwich continues to celebrate the creativity, innovation and talent across the games industry. We love that we can create a space for everyone to get involved, whether you're a lifelong gamer, industry pro, or just hitting "Start" for the first time.

Before you log off though, we’ve got one final quest...

We’d love to hear about your NGF experience. Complete our visitor survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NGF2026

Well, neither are we, so, how about a whole day of miniature robots battling it out in a Minibeasts In The East - MITE event at The Forum, Norwich?

t's like Robot Wars, only smaller, as 1.5Kg machines fight it out for glory and your entertainment!

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Thank you Retro Gaz for being such an integral part of NGF and for being generally wonderful and helpful with visitors.

I've been part of the Norwich Games Festival since 2016 and there are so many great things that make me proud of being at the event, but today I was handed an incredible piece of art that was drawn whilst at the event. The message made me well up...
