2018 Trading!

We’re already well into 2018, and although there have been several of wargames shows already been and gone (Crusade, Vapnartak, R.O.B.I.N…), we’re quickly approaching the start of our show attendance season! We dipped our toes in the water last year and attended a modest number of shows, but this year we’re going bigger and better! We’re currently booked in to attend at least five shows so far this year (already more than the whole of last year!) with more still to be confirmed.

We’ll keep everyone updated as we book new shows in, but for now here’s where we will be attending this year:

West Midlands Military Show – Sunday 18th March – Aldersley Leisure village, wolverhampton

Cannon 2018 – Sunday 25th March – Retford Town Hall, Retford

Chillcon 2018 – Saturday 31st March – Ecclesfield School, Ecclesfield, Sheffield

Vanquish 2018 – Sunday 27th May – Bourne End Community Centre, Buckinghamshire

Barrage 2018 – Sunday 8th July – Blessed William Howard School, Stafford

We look forward to seeing you at a show near you!

Tomorrow is Barrage 2017!

Barrage 2017 will be the 5th year for Barrage Wargames Show held in the county town of Stafford, and The Sleeping Dragon Hobby Shop will be in attendance! With over 40 traders, three tournaments, and dozens of demo and participation games, this year’s show is bigger and better than ever!

Come down to Blessed William Howard High School in Stafford tomorrow and join the show. The doors open at 10am to the public and tickets are £3 for adults on the door. If you do come along, please also consider bringing an item of non-perishable food as a donation – this year’s show is supporting House of Bread Stafford through their charity raffle. Enter the raffle with a donation and you could win some fantastic prizes!

Barrage is a show that we’ve been supporting in one guise or another since it began back in 2012, and it is going from strength to strength thanks to the great work of the organisers. It’s quickly becoming one of the biggest shows in the Staffordshire/West Midlands area, and as it is so local to us it would be criminal not to go along and support this year! As well as the shop range, we are also running a participation game on the day. If you fancy joining in with some Dark Ages action as our vicious Vikings raid Ireland then come along and look out for Storri’s Trek II: The Rath of Cahan!

We’ll be bringing the full shop range along to the show for you to buy, as well as a new product range that has yet to hit the website! As always, if you want to place an order to collect at the show please contact us and we can get your order ready.

See you all tomorrow from 10am!
