The Birmingham Gaming Market is back for 2025 at a brand new bigger location – the The New Bingley Hall! This new location has over 2000 square metres of space which is significantly larger than our previous venue! The market will take place on Sunday 18 May 2025.

We’re super excited to announce that we have two fantastic sponsors for 2025. We are once again working with retro book publishers Bitmap Books for all our 2025 events. You will be able to check out and purchase any of their literary catalogue in the Bitmap Books Library with show exclusive pricing too!

We are also excited to be working with Japan Shopping Service – ZenMarket – Shop Japan from anywhere in the world! ZenMarket finds, purchases, consolidates, and ships your desired Japanese products with ease. Handling everything from finding items to delivering them to your doorstep.

– Second door entry from 12:00 will be £5.00 and tickets are only available online. We will restrict these pre-paid door entry numbers to prevent overcrowding. Under 16s must purchase a ticket for advance entry.

To prevent overcrowding we will be introducing a one-in-one-out system during this busy time. Please be aware you may have to queue to enter if you arrive at this busy time.

The market is more relaxed after 14:00 and we would anticipate there would be minimal queuing after this time. Please take this into consideration when planning your visit.
