Dragonmeet 2025 Walkthrough Dragonmeet 2025 has arrived at the Excel Centre, and in this video I take you on a full walkaround of one of the UK’s biggest tabletop conventions. This year marks a major evolution for the event, with a much larger venue, an expanded traders’ hall, more gaming spaces, and an incredible range of exhibitors from every corner of the tabletop hobby. In this video, I explore the show floor, chat about the atmosphere, look at the traders, demo tables, RPG zones and organised play, and share why Dragonmeet continues to be such an important part of the UK gaming calendar. From dice-makers and miniature sculptors to indie RPG creators, Actual Play podcasters, and long-standing industry legends, the variety on display shows how far the hobby has grown. I also share some personal history with the convention, how it’s changed over the decades, and why it remains a highlight of my hobby year. Whether you’re into roleplaying games, miniature painting, board games, wargaming, or worldbuilding, Dragonmeet offers something for every type of tabletop fan.
