CHILLCON Sheffield 2026 - Weekender

We're very excited to be back in Sheffield with a NEW weekender! This is our very first weekend show, so let's make it epic!

CHILLCON has been dubbed as one of the North's favourite tabletop conventions, well known for being family friendly and a relaxed atmosphere. CHILLCON is in its 8th year and welcomes some of the most loved wargaming and tabletop companies in the industry.

What's On At The Show?

As well as an abundance of traders and participation games, theres plenty to see and do on both days AND everything is included in the ticket price (excluding refreshments which can be purchased from our CHILLCON tuckshop)

Bitz Blitz: Very similar to our speed painting competition, but you can build an epic figure within 20 minutes to take home! This is made possible by our friends over at Wargames Atlantic!

Seminars: More details to follow but we plan to host several seminars throughout the day from some iconic people from the industry!

Painting competition: We’ll also be seeing the return of our amazing renowned Painting Competition which is FREE to enter and a chance to win amazing prizes! More details can be found on our website.

Hobby Clinic: Our amazing team will be hosting the ‘Hobby Clinic’ where you can chat with some fantastic painters such as Golden Daemon winners, commission painters and painters regularly featured in Forge World to get advice on new painting techniques or learn some new skills.

Speed Painting: Well the long and short of it is that it’s a speed painting competition. Through-out the day we will be holding sessions to see who can paint the best model in the short time frame of 20 minutes. Look out for the 'Paint in 20'

Free to play games board library: We're expanding our range of games! We now have a dedicated games master who will be bringing you a huge selection of games where you can sit down and enjoy!

Bring & Buy: A great for clearing any old unfinished projects to fund new ones or maybe you’ll be one to pick up a bargain! Not only will you be making a few pennies you’ll be helping to raise money for our chosen charity ‘Models for Heroes’.
