Aaroncon is another fun filled four days all about Aaron, sorry its a fun filled four days all about board games organised by a guy called Aaron. Aaroncon takes place in the County South Lecture theatre at Lancaster University. Our aim is to play board games and have all the fun doing it!

A superfan ticket is essentially an early bird and available to anyone to purchase from until 31st August (and during relevant promotions), a super fan 4 day ticket grants access to the convention from 10am on the Thursday and offers a discount too.

At Aaroncon, we play all kinds of board, card and tabletop games! From the classics like monopoly to complex strategy games like On Mars or Nucleum, there's something for everyone! We've space for wargames and RPGs too!

Yes of course! Please be mindful of where you are leaving your bags/crates/suitcases/trolleys of games to not block entrances, tables or fire exits

At Aaroncon, we're all about playing board games and having fun. We ask that you're kind, considerate to all others attendees to make Aaroncon and friendly and welcoming space.

Aaroncon is open from 10am on Thursday 7th January 2027 until 8pm on 10th January 2027.

The gaming spaces are open from 10am on Thursday 7th January 2027 until 8pm on 10th January 2027, so you can game for many many hours (82 hours to be precise) uninterrupted (not recommended).

There may be a limited number of tickets available, however, once all tickets have sold out there will be no more available. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance.

You can use either the find a game system on the GoGo App. Or you can use one of the 'players wanted' signs, or look out for a players wanted sign in the open gaming areas. Or you can use the Facebook group.

Its important to remember that every game won't be for everyone, and your favourite game may not be for everyone. Aaroncon does not guarantee everyone who brings games to the convention will get them played, or that your favourite ever game will be played.

Everyone is welcome at Aaroncon. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and each attendee must have their own ticket. Half price tickets are available for children between the ages of 6 to 15.

Yes of course! We won't ask that you return your Lanyard. A Lanyard + ID Holder+ ticket do cost Aaroncon approximately £1.45 each (which is factored into ticket prices), but we think its something you might like to keep or collect.

The primary focus of Aaroncon is playing board games. Ludus Vulpes will also be in attendance showing games such as Overgrowth, Forest Folk, Disappearing Act, Pete's Plaice, Ducks in a row.

These will be released sometime in October

Tickets are non-transferrable and non-refundable

For each game you would like to sell in the bring and buy, you'll need to purchase a sticker (available under extras at £1 each). At the convention, you'll recieve stickers to place on your games, with a space for a price, Game name and your contact details. All games are left at owners risk and Aaroncon accepts no responsiblity for games in the bring and buy.

No - however, if anyone is seen to be listing an excessive number we will implement a cap per person. Games that are from a shop or business are prohibited for sale in the bring and buy

The bring and buy is open

Thursday 10am - Sunday 3pm

All games must be collected by 3:30pm on Sunday, any games left will be donated to the Charity Raffle - drawn at 4pm on Sunday.

All games not collected from the bring and buy by 3:30pm on Sunday 10th January, will be added to the charity raffle (drawn at 4pm on Sunday 10th January).

We believe that bring and buys should be made up of the stuff that actually might sell and be priced to sell, having a small discretionary charge covers the space and table hire, and hopefully encourages everyone to price their games to sell
