Warhammer World in Nottingham

What a fantastic place. My 10 year old son has just gotten into Warhmammer and the 7 year old is trotting along behind him so I thought visiting would be a good way to assess the next steps to help them on their journey. They had a fabulous afternoon visiting the exhibition and shop. Some people playing games were also happy to chat to them. And the staff in the shop could not be faulted. They helped both boys to build and paint their miniatures and dropped in loads of really handy tips along the way. I suspect we will become regulars!

Cool place. The only downside was I saw some people not paying and going into the exhibition area no problem because staff weren't paying attention. Annoying when I was told I had to pay. Plus one of the bar staff was a little rude.

Great place a bit of a nerd mecca, lots to see and do friendly and helpful staff ready to answer any questions about the hobby

Lovely place to visit if you like warhammer, food at bugmas was very nice and reasonably priced. The warhammer store seems very over priced for small plastic soldiers.

As a lifelong Warhammer fan I went to Nottingham exclusively to see Warhammer world and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I expected more dioramas, more miniatures (the primarchs of horus heresy unpainted), more books from the black library and something else that impressed me. In the end it feels like just another GW store. The bar was closed and you generally see everything in one or two hours. Taking into account that I came from Spain, it was a fairly large expense for such a little thing. But hey, it's not that the site is bad either.

No better place in the world if you are into Warhammer!

Warhammer World is awesome, well located and a great place to visit to play some Warhammer , eat some food, drink some beer, enjoy the exhibition or spend lots of money on cool stuff!!!!

A terrific day out for the Warhammer enthusiast or casual visitor alike. A casual visitor will be in awe of the model displays as much as the hobbyist. It's well worth paying the entry fee for the exhibition, and U12s are free. The staff are all terrific; a special mention to Amber, who so brilliantly and patiently spent 20 mins teaching my 10 year old and I how to play Blood Bowl. Thank you! The onsite café and bar do a great menu, including GF options. There is free parking right outside. Allow 1-2hrs for a non Warhammer hobbyist. Warhammer aficionados may wish to take their models and use one of the gaming tables to make a full day of it.

Much fun as always. Still not found an assassin

Brilliant day out with son and 13 year old grandson, quite busy and son purchased Exhibition passes disappointed to see no one on door to check our tickets so anyone could have entered. Husband enjoyed the visit as well as he is a keen War Hammer figure buyer. Amazed at how many types of figures are available - must admit Lord of the Rings was and always be my favourite

Great place for all you Warhammer peeps. The exhibition is amazing. The talent on display is breath taking.

The displays are great, and the flow of the different displays in the exhibition area were amazing! We also had lunch at Bugman's and the prices were brilliant and the food was top notch! Spent a good few hours here and another hour or so in the shop too! The game hall was massive and had lots of tables for playing. I went with my partner as he's a massive Warhammer fan, and even though I'm not into it as much as he is, I still thoroughly enjoyed it!

What an amazing experience I took a friend's lad to visit, and although I don't know anything about Warhammer, I found really interesting and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful even taking the time to explain the difference seens. Would highly recommend a visit 👌

Great exhibition. The skill in making the models is incredible.

Went for my son's birthday,no idea what I was looking at, but enjoyed the day,infact it blow my mind the dedication these players have I admire them,the most enjoyable part for me were Bugmans bar the food is out of this world I would go again just for food.also learning about the dwarves book of grudges (I hope I've got that right) I need to start one . Even if your not into war hammer it's a great place to visit

The beers were lovely and the exhibition was very very cool. So many hours of work went into the building, painting and positioning of all the pieces.

Fantastic day out, If your a fan of Warhammer you can rent a table out for the day, visit the museum, buy from the shop, visit painting tutorials or visit bugmans bar (in house restaurant) I have been several times and will try to visit at least once a year for a gaming experience.

Warhammer nerds, welcome to your nirvana! The most amazing selection of models and books to buy, areas to play, and displays of painted models. The exhibition is worth paying for the visit, and you can easily spend a couple of hours looking over all the models used on the box art! Bugman's tavern is amazingly quirkly with a varied selection of food and cold drink on tap! Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic place for all Warhammer enthusiasts. Warhammer World's exhibition centre shows some of the best and biggest scenes from the 40k universe. The Forge World store is unparalleled and the Bugmans bar is an awesome themed space that does tremendous food. Would recommend a trip.

Amazing as always. I love going here

As always, friendly, helpfull and knowledgeable staff. Great food at Bugmans Bar.

If you play the games or make the models you need to visit

Such an amazing experience for anyone who loves the hobby or wants to show someone what they are talking about. The staff is especially passionate and awesome!

Shop and game play area was impressive and knowledgeable staff but feel the exhibition area was over priced and we accompanied our son with being almost £10 each for adults and not much cheaper for kids it was only display cabinets too look at which was good I expected some sort of souvenir was also so hot was making us feel sick so couldn't take our time don't think it helped with how busy it was in their either so couldn't see most of the displays we did raise this comment to a staff member stood outside but didn't seem too intrested... IF we go again won't bother with exhibition side 👍🏻

Lovely place to visit even if you're not a Warhammer fan

Shout out to Amber! She was fantastic and really made my wife and I feel welcome. She was really knowlegeble and friendly. Overall a great day :)

Cool how you can see all of the different models, would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed the day at Warhammer world. My son is a big fan and it was amazing to see the fantastic displays. The attention to detail is astounding and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

If you like Warhammer, especially miniatures, this is your place! There are impressive dioramas, prints, merchandise and all the books and miniatures there are for sale. Take advantage of your trip to Nottingham to visit it, eat at Bugman's Tavern and buy special items that are only sold there.

Warhammer World is an awesome exhibition of figures and dioramas. There is a huge shop with all sorts of figures and a bar that is beautifully decorated. The prices for the food are normal. Entrance to the museum is very cheap and well worth it. We were there for 7 hours and not only visited the exhibition. You can also watch other people fight against each other.

Really good and is definitely worth a visit My only issue is no body really answers the phones so you struggle to book a table

Amazing to visit Warhammer World, see exhibition and eat in Bugmans. Definitely worth the trip!

Such a great place, I went with friends, not knowing what to expect. I didn't know much about Warhammer but the staff was very friendly, introduced to some of the lore and painted my first mini. All in all, amazing shop and breathtaking displays. And at the end of the day, I've left the place hooked and with the first box of my own Drukharies to paint.

The staff are really friendly, easily approachable for help and they are also like to know about your armies and your progress and love having conversations with you.

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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£££.

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 great place for Warhammer aficionados.

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.

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.

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

top warhammer location, always worth a visit

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.

A must for fans. Brilliant place.

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

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

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.

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

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
