About

GAMES FEST IS BACK AT THE WHITE ROCK!

Calling serious gamers, casual console players and anyone in search of something fun to do with family and friends!

Games Fest is back at the White Rock on Saturday 7 February and Sunday 8 February 2026, offering two sessions of pure gaming glee!

The popular event produced by The Guildhall Trust, the operators of the White Rock, will return for 2026 having proven to be a huge success in January 2025, and at the Trust's Portsmouth Guildhall venue.

Here's what to expect at Games Fest 2.0:

Bringing a library of over 100 of the most popular board games around and giving demonstrations of some the newest releases to hit the market will be partner, Dice Board Game Lounge. Pick a game, take your place at the table and participate in the competitions and tournaments that will be running across the weekend before perusing a fully stocked shop so you can buy and continue playing your new-found favourites at home.

Providing a dream set up for every retro arcade enthusiast will be Game Over. Relive the magic of your youth and introduce the younger generations to classics such as Pong, Pac Man, Tetris, Sonic, Street Fighter and more, and enjoy gaming tournaments projected onto a giant screen.

And with more partners and gaming options set to be announced now is not the time to sit on the sidelines!

Sessions will run from 11am-4pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday with essential gaming snacks and treats available to purchase on site.

Fun for all ages! An anticipated sell out, don't be disappointed – get your tickets now!
