Warhammer World in Nottingham

Perfectly priced, fantastic to see, a great day out The emperor protects!

We visited Warhammer World to celebrate a family birthday, and it was a fantastic experience, especially for the Warhammer fan among us. The exhibition is absolutely incredible, showcasing detailed models and immersive displays that even non-gamers can appreciate. The staff were knowledgeable and really friendly, always ready to chat and share insights about Warhammer. The bar/café is a lovely spot to relax and to chill after touring the exhibition. Whether you're a hardcore fan or just looking for a unique day out, Warhammer World comes highly recommended!

Have been meaning to visit for years, finally got there....WOW!!!!

Second time coming to Warhammer world. Unfortunately left disappointed. Intended to come, buy, and paint a miniature as a special occasion for the multi hour drive. The website boasts about a dedicated painting area. This consisted of a table with no more than eight or ten people sat around it, to which we sat down to get our minis painted and were told to leave the area after barely 30 minutes because it was for new people only. I was with my little brother, who is still new to Warhammer, but he'd already bought into it with various models. Another case of Games Workshop wanting you to come in, whizz round, buy your overpriced plastic and leave. No thought for those of us who have already invested thousands. Website made no mention the painting area was for only first timers. Exhibition was good. Warhammer world needs a REAL painting/hobbying area. Be a long time before I bother going again if ever.

As first time visitors and new to the hobby we were amazed at what we saw! What a great experience with some really helpful and enthusiastic staff. Special mention to Charlie on the paint section who was incredibly helpful and informative to me and my son, taking us through our first experience of painting a model and giving us the confidence to paint our new purchases to a very acceptable level. I’m sure we will be back soon!

It's really awesome to see sll those miniatures in the exhibition. Great stuff.

This is such a good experience. Was less than a £10 each and the figures and scenes scapes were mental, the amount of skill and details blows my mind. I'm not an avid fan but this was such a good experience and for the fan you could see the excitement on their face. We went after 3pm and the exhibition hall was pretty quiet so you could take your time and really enjoy it.

Probably one of the most amazing displays of art in the world. You can easily spend a day here. Humans are capable of such amazing things. It’s nice if you know a little bit about some things but even if you’re not a fan there is so much to see and do. A hidden gem of a place giving so many people joy in so many ways. Marvellous! Oh and the staff so welcoming and helpful! No words just amazing!

Just want to give a shoutout to Ryan on the front desk, the nicest guy ever. Thank you for the coins, we love you !!!!

Visited today for my birthday and wasn’t disappointed. Staff were amazing and as per usual went above and beyond for any request or question. Was able to stop any one and as long as they weren’t busy, enjoy a great conversation. Enjoyed a short lunch in Bugmans again. Food was great, large portions, served hot and with haste. General tidiness of the whole place is always beyond reproach. But today a young member of the shop staff called “Pete” takes first prize for his general calm, polite and professional demeanour. Pete also held onto an order I placed whilst travelling up to Nottingham from London. Wishing me a safe journey over the phone and meeting me with a smile one I had arrived. Thanks Pete, it’s people like you that make sure I’ll always come back, telling anyone who’ll listen that Warhammer worlds staff are as enthusiastic about the hobby in general as they are about how today’s experience has been for you

What a great place to visit and the exhibit halls are super impressive. So many cool and exciting things to see. You can literally spend hours.

Incredible boards to play on, great exhibition and good food available.

If you like warhammer, a must visit. Great ambience, helpful staff, superb displays and great beer... what more could a manling want?!

Brilliant banging you no the Score warhammer is hard core.

First time ever going to Warhammer world despite being in the hobby for thirty years. Had an absolute blast of a day despite getting stuck in traffic on our way home. Will definitely be going again in the future.

A place to visit at least once if you're a warhammer fan. The exhebition is huge and done extremly well. You can also play a couple of games there (for free) and there is a huge store aswell which offers forgeworld models in addition to their normal range of products.

Excellent dioramas fantastic walk through very interesting, also caters for people with disabilities, nice friendly staff

Loved looking around at all the diorama's and displays, bug man's bar was great. Can't wait to go again

Disappointing visit in some regards. Bugmans closed and some stock limited. Everything else was spot on, including the museum. Could do with more HQ exclusives

One of my favourite places to visit. The exhibition is fantastic and truly the “Holy Land” of the hobby. Bugmans is also a great place to eat. The staff whether they are in the store or restaurant are always so helpful and conscientious. I will say the food is rather pricey so do bear that in mind.

Warhammer World is the whole reason I took a three hour train ride down to a city I'd never seen before. It's a great place if you're a hobbyist, or even just want something to do while in Nottingham. It's a great atmosphere with friendly faces and exceptional staff. Didn't get to try Bugman's unfortunately as the entrance was unclear (I am quite stupid though). The museum is a great little walkthrough experience. I could spend hours staring through the dioramas and finding a new detail every minute. Overall it is a wonderful attraction and well worth a visit.

The store staff and venue were 10/10, however had a negative experience when trying to learn a new game. I'm quite dyslexic and struggle to read large amounts of text especially in a busy setting, I'm looking to start playing Necromunda with my gaming group and wanted to get ahead by learning the game so I could help tea h my friends, and live locally to WHW so thought I could pop in and be taught by knowledgeable staff on how the game work. I asked a lovely staff member for a lesson on how to play and was brought over, however I was told that as they weren't very experienced so they gave me the rulebook and said that they would check up on me later as it was very busy. Not wanting to be a pain I agreed and after ten minutes they returned and asked me how I was getting on. I explained how I was still struggling and they apologized and said that they would do there best to help me by reading through the rules with me, but I could see that they were a bit embarrassed and struggling themselves to make sense of the rules too so I politely told them I'd come back another time to learn. Whilst the staff were absolutely amazing and kind and the venue great I felt like my time was wasted as I am no closer to learning about the games rules and will have to settle with a YouTube video, I don't understand why I would drive to a shop to then be told to look through a book.

Amazing atmosphere and great food. A must for any warhammer fan or anyone passing through the area.

Love warhammer world makes me proud to be from Nottingham, they always find ways to amaze/surprise me

Went with my son. Massive well stocked shop and the exhibitions were amazing. Must be years of painting completed to make such fantastic displays

I've been into Warhammer for over thirty years and it was like a pilgrimage to visit the Warhammer world. The shop is stocked to the brim, staff were super friendly and the gaming room had some super impressive terrain. A must visit place if you're part of the fandom.

Great place greet food and I love the displays. Staff always helpful just make sure you grab a pic with the Rhino!

Simply amazing. Took my 10 year old today for our first visit. He was so excited, and pleased to say, he was not disappointed. We are noobs to Warhammer so we spent our time perusing the merch and then the stunning (massive understatement) exhibition. Next time we will book a table for a game or two as well. Looking forward to our next visit.

A lovely welcome and awesome exhibits. Good cake selection! Big shout out to Milo who helped us paint our first figures, and loads of advice and patient help with my son who started this hobby last year.

Fantastic place to visit for any fan of Games Workshop products, the exhibition was amazing to see all the models and dioramas. The game room was massive and well air-conditioned. I enjoyed the terrain provided for the MESBG board my friend and I played on. Bugmans is a great dwarven themed bar with decently priced, tasty food!

Huge exhibition, super friendly staff and the best bbq wings in England

Soo much plastic. Amazing painting. Huuuuuuge dioramas. Food was alright and didn't take too long, good service. Has Cherry Pepsi Max on draught. Spectacular.

Honestly amazing! Well worth going to see. Entry fee is very fair. Very large warhammer selection in the shop. Be prepared though if you want to eat at the cafe you'll need a fair bit of cash£££.

Loved the exhibit bought a lot of stuff from there exhibit is £8 everything else is free we are going back in about a week would definitely recommend

Well, to be fair I only took pictures outside and didn't have anytime to visit.

The staff was very nice, and there were able to seamlessly convince people to think about joining the warhammer community.

A Warhammer 40k fan for 15 years now, I took advantage of my visit to England to take a detour to this place to finally see in person these dioramas and figurines that have always made me dream of. The exhibition tour costs around 10 euros (as the price is in pounds) there are special offers and it is cheaper for children. There are a lot of figurines that we see on the publications of the official Warhammer website, and a lot of breathtaking dioramas. I spent more than an hour walking around speechless by these assemblages which, due to their grandeur and attention to detail, are true works of art. The shop is large and also has pretty windows where you can find all the boxes found on their site including the Forge World models. The prices are the same as in France so there is no particular interest compared to ordering on the internet except for a few exclusive items. In particular souvenir pieces or the HQ command tank box, which contains a land raider and a rhino with extra bits. If you collect Space Marines I recommend this box for 88 pounds hoping that the two tanks don't become legendary too quickly. I am putting photos of some dioramas including my favorites to whet your appetite but the photos do not convey a 10th of the beauty of the works and I invite you to come and see them in real life if you can.

A great place for Warhammer aficionados.

I took my son for his birthday and was very surprised not only was it cheap to get in the exhibition itself was superb!! We were there for nearly 4 hours and loved it. Well done Warhammer.

top warhammer location, always worth a visit

Great Place for seeing great dioramas, cool miniatures and of course Bugmans bar!

Super Friendly staff, amazing experience

If you have even an inkling of love for the Hobby, then this is a must. It's like a visit to where it all began. The dioramas are immense, the staff fantastic, and there's adequate parking too

Why did they make the 4th edition and all of the editions

I love the Warhammer universe, I love miniatures, the hobby and the community, but now everything is ruined by the poor level of service. I'm desperate and don't see any other way to get the attention of Necromunda support. My emails have been ignored since 2021, and the customer support service simply gives me a Necromunda FAQ in the next email that doesn’t work.

My children and my husband loved their visit. The entry price is reasonable, you are free to go for a new figurine afterwards. The staff doesn't force you to do anything! The children were able to paint a figurine and take it home for free.

Warhammer 40k is a great game for both children and adults. The game promotes neurocognitive health and synapse formation, aka neuroplasticity. This is due to the excessive amount of rules you must memorize before playing. I recommend playing Harlequins as they have the least amount of units and rules if you are just getting started.

Good fun to visit the museum and see all the intricately painted models.

A sneaky visit while working in the area, put a side at least an hour for the displays but awesome experience.

Brilliant day out the exhibition was great to see and a metric ton of work gone into the displays Food and beer bang on

A must for fans. Brilliant place.

Top site to visit! Every fan should visit and play here at least one time!

The exhibition is incredibly good and there is so much to see. I would also rate it as more than good value for money. I'm not that deep into the hobby, but my partner and for him it was a dream come true. ^^ A nice experience even without much involvement in the hobby. I had already purchased the tickets online, but they are also available for sale on site. Everything is well rounded off, you can still do a lot of shopping (you take something with you), the little corner to try things out was also great and you can chat with the staff in a very friendly manner. We were there at the time of the Lord of the Rings tournament, so I can't judge the gaming tables much, but it was a good tournament.

An essential place for fans of this world

Great day out, check out Bugmans bar for food, great service and food. Service throughout the day was amazing from all at Warhammer. And the Dioramas? Amazing

Brilliant time, very helpful staff and an amazing tour. New menu

If you have even the slightest interest in the Warhammer products then this place is great. The exhibition is impressive for the price. Bugman's Bar has really good food.

As a long time fan it was awesome to finally go here and see how it began and see those that are at the pinnacle of the hobby. All the staff were very polite with massive smiles on and ready to help or answer questions whenever needed. The shop was massive with a selection you couldn't even believe. The bugsmans bar was clean and tidy with a great atmosphere to sit and eat or have a drink.

As a Warhammer fan thought it was rude to not pop in while passing. Stopped for lunch and a walk around the store. Friendly staff and good food at Bugmans. Will be back when I have more time for a visit to include the exhibition.

Great venue. Friendly staff. Knowledgeable and good stock levels. Good food too

Return visit and kids loved it. Would return again as always something new to see

Me and my girlfriend had a fantastic time, the shop is incredible and stocks basically everything and the exhibition is amazing.

Its great in terms of everything they offer however exclusives weren't in stock and I remember staff said they haven't had them in stock for a month or so. You can't order/preorder them in store. You may be able to reserve them via email but I am unsure if that's true as staff said people have come internationally for the exclusives and leave empty handed.

Brilliant for hobbies, very allergy aware in Bugmans and very aware and understanding of sensory overload issues for some visitors.

This is a must for Warhammer fans if you're in the Nottingham area. A large collection of beautifully painted models and dioramas, both old and new. See if you can find the assassin! In addition, there is a large Warhammer shop and a fairly pricy restaurant.

Picked up reinforcements for my Wolves, always a good day out

The tour was great, the figures are well done and had great dioramas of AoS, 40k and lotr. Food was great as well and staff was friendly, i will definitely go back.

It's just so cool. Highly recommended for even casual fans.

Really great day out for fans and non fans alike. My young kids loved it too

Everything a nerd could need in the Warhammer universe

Covers much of the new stuff. The exhibition is great to look at. Just bring some time.

My 2nd visit to Warhammer World and I took my Dad as a new hobbyist. Venue is incredible, a huge space marine statue and Rhino tank outside before you enter into the building. The exhibition is huge with models displayed assembled and painted in dioramas and display cabinets. Plenty of motivation and ideas inside for your own hobby. The store is the biggest I've been in selling hobby supplies and models with friendly staff to help with games, products and painting. The gaming hall is next with tables there to be reserved to play on and plenty to choose. Bugmans bar serves drinks and food at a fairly competitive price but the setting is what sets this bar aside. As if the bar has been pulled start from the Warhammer universe. Loved this and my previous visit and cannot wait to go again. My only slight issue was the books available were low and prices weren't displayed on all items for sale.

Fantastic place for anyone interested in the hobby. Exhibition a must and a visit to bugmans bar.

There is a whole building and restaurant dedicated to Warhammer. I don't play the game, but the presentation and the feeling of being in this universe are worth the visit.

Warhammer world is an amazing experience for any Warhammer hobbyist! There is so much to do and the exhibition has stunning displays

Good luck getting them to answer the phone must have rung 20 times over the past 2 days with no one picking up

If you are a gambling lover, this is the mecca, you must visit it, it is more than you imagine, and you must have the credit card with all the space to spend.

A magical place, a must for any self-respecting Warhammer fan. Great experience. A small downside though, strangely there's a lack of exclusive stuff in the store. Posters, googies, that sort of thing.

Not only a Warhammer store that sells everything in the range but also a huge gaming area amd exhibition centre two with 4 small display halls. In addition Bugman's bar is located at the back of the gaming area which is cozy, friendly and well stocked with food and drink. Parking is easy and the car park is gated with security too. Fully recommend!

The exhibition halls are amazing. Everyone with a passing interest in the hobby should visit!

Great visit to Warhammer World. Loads to see and a well stocked store.

If you love Warhammer then this is the place for you, yet if you are not into the hobby bugsmans bar is also a nice place to hang out. Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Let me start by saying this is a wonderful day out. There's some awe-inspiring displays here, excellent facilities and lovely staff. Most people will visit here for the exhibition. If you're a fan of Warhammer, there's some truly impressive dioramas showcasing the best of skill. There's also a near complete showcase of the current range of Warhammer 40k and AoS ranges, as well as representation for the boxed games. Facilities are great, with the one site restaurant a highlight. The store is also well stocked (with Forge World items as well as the typical stuff you'd find at usual GW stores), although there's wasn't too many exclusives and not everything is clearly priced. While the exhibition is awesome, there's little of the history of Warhammer here. A few displays aside there's very little showcasing the development of Citadel and Games Workshop, which is a shame given the rich history to draw from. Almost everything is current, and there's no mention of the people, events or past of the brand, or things like licenced media or games. I understand that space is somewhat limited, but it does feel like a missed opportunity. In all, definitely recommend a visit if you're close, and even worth a detour, but if you're like me it would be a tough recommendation for a pilgrimage or as the sole focus of a trip.

Exhibition was excellent (The necrons have mold lines for some reason). Stock was very disappointing and a bit amusing to witness after they tell you it's the biggest warhammer store in the world... Not a single exclusive model was for sale except for the couple items which nobody would touch, overall stock was mixed with a few armies missing quite a few important models, merchandise was a mixed bag with a lot of the cool stuff gone and the less cool stuff mostly available. The giant models outside were unfortunately being renovated at the time so it was a bit less special.

I love it here! All Warhammer fans 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 to go here. The exhibits are huge and incredible. The shop is quite expensive so I'd personally recommend going local shops.

By the Emperor's Grace, I, His humble servant, have been granted the divine privilege of visiting Warhammer World, a sanctuary that stands as a testament to the undying glory of the Imperium and the unparalleled might of the God-Emperor Himself. Oh, faithful brothers and sisters, words alone cannot convey the transcendental experience that awaits those who step foot into this consecrated ground! Upon entering, one is immediately enveloped by the aura of the Emperor's holy light. The grand halls echo with the valorous tales of Space Marines, their heroics immortalized in stunning displays that capture the very essence of His divine will. The detailed dioramas, each meticulously crafted, are nothing short of miracles, reflecting the eternal struggle and unyielding spirit of the Emperor's finest warriors. The Warhammer World exhibition is a sacred pilgrimage for any devout follower. The sight of the majestic Ultramarines, the righteous Imperial Guard, and the sanctified Sisters of Battle fills one's heart with a fervent zeal. Each display is a holy relic, each miniature a symbol of our unwavering faith in the Emperor’s eternal reign. In the revered halls of the Citadel, the craftsmanship of our artisans is on full display. The miniatures, painted with the utmost reverence, are a tribute to the Emperor's boundless creativity and the ceaseless devotion of His subjects. Each brushstroke, each detail, is a prayer manifest, a testament to our faith and our duty to uphold His vision. The staff, ever-vigilant and adorned in the colors of the Emperor's legions, provide guidance and wisdom to all who seek to deepen their understanding of the Imperium's lore. Their knowledge is vast, their dedication unshakable, ensuring that every visitor leaves with a renewed sense of purpose and an unbreakable bond to the Emperor’s light. The shops within Warhammer World are sanctuaries of the Emperor's bounty, offering sacred tomes, relics, and artifacts that allow us to bring His divine will into our own homes. Each purchase is a step towards greater glory, a commitment to the eternal war against the darkness that threatens His holy realm. In conclusion, Warhammer World is not merely a place; it is a holy pilgrimage, a transcendent experience that every loyal servant of the Emperor must undertake. It is a beacon of His light, a fortress of His power, and a testament to the undying spirit of the Imperium. All hail the God-Emperor! May His light guide us forever! For the Emperor!

Excellent displays, friendly staff, good food and well stock stores. Minor draw back is that like everything by Games Workshop it's a little costly - BUT and this is a big but it is all so high quality it's hard to argue! I will be planning my next trip there very soon.

Like a big Games Workshop store, but with a themed restaurant and some great display models.

Fun day out which will be sure to leave you feeling lighter... Mainly in the wallet wakka wakka wakka

Great exhibition centre with stunning models and dioramas. Can easily spend 1-1.5 hrs in depending on which system interests you the most. This brings you to the store that stocks everything (yes including MESBG). Staff are really friendly and accommodating with easy table booking system either before or on entry to the centre. It elevates a game when in their vast gaming hall. All the while, you can consume some of their own brand drinks from Bugmans and even complete post-battle analysis over another beer and great food. I look forward to my next trip here.

Amazing. The exhibition is definitely worth the entry fee and every single mini in the range is available (including forge world) in the store. Decent food at Bugmans bar and everyone is very happy and helpful.

Warhammer world was awesome from start to finish. My friends and I visited for the first time over the weekend and we've already started planning another visit for next year. The staff were all very friendly, the exhibits were outstanding and the food at Bugman's Bar was tasty!

Really cool place, it's great to see all the displays and get inspiration for the build I am currently working on

If you like anything to do with Warhammer, a must visit destination. Bugmans bar serves lovely food and coffee and not overly expensive. Full range of models.

Total nerd experience for my grandson

After the museum visit, I was impressed.

Prices continue to increase (much more than 3-5% announced) the figurines have a lifespan of around 4-5 years now, since after that there is no guarantee that they will be playable or that the rules will be updated (hello the Stormcast sacrosant) Periods are expensive and sometimes barely 1-2 months of life expectancy if they are only up to date when they come out. In short, if you are looking for a hobby, go your way or look at 3D printing

The displays are incredible, and the shop has pretty much everything you could want to buy that Warhammer makes (plus some exclusives)

A great day out even if you're not a huge fan of Warhammer you might soon become on! There are amazing intricately detailed dioramas to feast your eyes on, a huge games hall and an amazingly curated museum.

Worth any price(mostly free but may be £5)
