Welcome to GameCity, Europe’s biggest and best-loved videogame culture festival!

Experience a huge range of playful events in and around Nottingham from October 20th-27th 2012.

The festival is mostly free to attend and there are loads of events suitable for all ages. It’s overflowing with fun, exciting, interesting things to do during the October half term. There’ll be a schedule of events for you to see really soon, plus lots of exciting news and surprise announcements to come over the next few months.

Our plan is to look at videogames from a different perspective, and encourage everyone to do the same. After all, games aren’t just for playing. They’re for learning. And for teaching. And for inspiring. At this year’s festival, we want to achieve this in the most accessible, engaging way possible.

It’s a unique exploration of what videogames really mean to the people who play them and the people who make them too.

What is GameCity?

GameCity is a set of projects run by Nottingham Trent University that focus on the celebration and exploration of videogame culture. We organise a festival every year. This will be the seventh GameCity, so we’ve called it GameCity7 to keep it simple.

Last year, around 45,000 people visited GameCity6 throughout 4 days of fun, playful, interesting events at some of Nottingham’s finest venues & public spaces. This year is going to be bigger, better, and even more fun!

I said I was going to go to this last year and didn't. I'm going to make the effort this year I think.

The dates are confirmed, but nothing on the shedule yet.
