Matt and Karen are back with their AireCon 2026 preview — and yes, it was supposed to be a short one. Recorded just one week before the show, they walk through everything you need to know ahead of the Harrogate Convention Centre’s biggest tabletop weekend of the year.
Expect a full rundown of opening times, hall layouts, and the all-new Yokocho indie publisher zone, plus a deep dive into the exciting food fair coming to the Hilton next door (Dutch mini pancakes! Poutine! Gyros!). They also spotlight some of the new games heading to the show floor, including the brilliantly-named Butt Radio, Shakespeare the Card Game, and a host of other debuts and demos to put on your radar.
There’s also a genuine and touching moment of honesty from Matt about his mental health, a reminder that the community around this hobby matters just as much as the games themselves.
Whether you’re heading to Harrogate or just living vicariously, this is your essential guide to AireCon 2026.
