EGX is the UK's biggest video games event! Come along and you'll find the most anticipated console and PC games, all playable weeks or months before they're released. It also has presentations by game designers from world renowned studios, areas dedicated to esports, the opportunity to meet and chat with game creators.

EGX Birmingham returns to the NEC on 21 – 24 Sep 2017.

It's a great day out for families, not only to see all the latest games but also to spend time together sharing your hobby. Under 10s go free, but it's worth noting that this offer is restricted to one child per ticket paying adult.
