Britcon 2026 will be held over the weekend of 7/8/9 August , at The Venue@DMU in Leicester.
The Venue@DMU started life as a Spitfire factory (which is actually quite cool really for a historical gaming venue), then served as a sports hall for many years and more recently has been totally refurbished as modern, dedicated event space.
