Warhammer World in Nottingham

I’m not into this game but my teenage boys are and they loved this place. It was fun and engaging with some super cool dioramas

Brilliant as always, love the staff and the exhibition!

A must-see for every Warhammer fan. Beautiful display. The exclusive items are a bit disappointing. No character series and no Warhammer+ models for sale.

Amazing place, super friendly staff and an incredible war room with about 30 odd tables. Bugmans bar was amazing pre refurb and is currently being done up, progress pictures look promising😄 amazing place to go even if you aren't super into warhammer

Great Warhammer store and amazing display of minis in the Exhibition Centre.

Amazing place, always worth going to see the exhibition, food at bugmans is good and they play space has some amazing board set up. Staff are always friendly and willing to help

A must for Games Workshop fan, excellent shop and the figures and dioramas are fantastic.

Incredible place to visit! Been twice in the last month, once to have a look around at the displays which are seriously impressive! And again to take part in an event being held here. Staff are all super friendly and the general vibe here is just awesome!

Fantastic place, warm welcoming environment and an amazing team who take the time to help you. Mary was amazing she took the time to teach my daughter how to play and was very enthusiastic and happy to teach. Thank you Mary

Great place, super helpful staff even to old farts who haven't played the game for years ..very welcoming👍

As soon as I arrived and saw the rhino at the entrance, it made me feel like Guilliman's sword, with fire and everything. After 6 hours analyzing every detail, I'm going to have to choose between the resin printer, the Warlord Titan, or the optician. I left with literal eye pain. Simply spectacular.

Great experience good shopping great food in bugmans bar

Easy to get to (just off the motorway on an industrial estate) with surprisingly good car parking. The diorama exhibition was very impressive, however, I found a shop to be a little underwhelming and rther overpriced

A feast for the hobby fan what a place the exhibition is so worth the price the models are astonishing Trust me its the hobby meca for all fans of warhmmer

I really enjoy my visits to Warhammer world - the staff are super friendly, have the most knowledge and the environment is enjoyable and pleasant. I love the painting station, and I've introduced quite few people to Warhammer now :-) Will definitely be back and I will be bringing more people !

Great atmosphere, really friendly and welcoming

The only downside is it's so tempting to spend a fortune! A factory tour would be an interesting option and definitely something I would be interested in should it ever come up.

Mint day out well worth the trip to Warhammer world definitely going back in June 👍

Amazing place, staff was so helpful especially Johnathan 👍

I was expecting more from the Warhammer World. In the end it was just a big shop with very good miniature art. I think it would be amazing if the wh world would be more like a museum, showing concept art, manufacturing relics from old days, maybe even having a way to inject your own chosen and exclusive model live, or having comemorative coins for all factions. the black library sessions was also disapointing, I expected to have more books/options there

Loved it! Dioramas were extraordinary! Definitely something that photos do not do justice to.

Amazing, fan already but his is an essential trip for anyone. Helpful staff, great free activities and amazing displays.

Soo much plastic. Amazing painting. Huuuuuuge dioramas. Bugmans is under referb, food is ok but no drinks at cattering and the fridges in the gaming hall are lacking in capacity and choice. Staff were all lovely tho.

Not quite what I expected, surprisingly limited stock. Enjoyed painting lessons, however it did not help my ability one bit.

The diorama here are amazing! Access to some models that normally are only available online is a nice bit too, but totally worth the few pounds for the entry fee.

Absolutely love this place from the bar to the battlefield 🤘

It was great. And I'm not even a player!

For someone who loves gameworkshop products this place is a must visit. Have heard people spending days here. So much here to see and do. The exhibition hall is well worth a look to see the history of the hobby. Even if you've been before. Shop is also great, staff are so knowledgeable and there is so much more here to see than your standard gw store. The games hall is a great way to see what others are up to, also great place to bring your army and play a game with friends. Would recommend calling ahead and booking a table if you want to play at the weekend. Even on a waiting list though there is a high chance you will get one on the day. The bar/restaurant is good too. Not amazing but it provides what you need.

Warhammer at its very best! Exhibition halls, gaming tables, food & drink and more miniatures than your wildest dreams!

What a great place offering something for all Warhammer enthusiasts. The diaramas were spectacular and the staff as always were very warm and welcoming.

The Holy Grail for Warhammer fans! Facilities are brilliant and absolutely everything under one roof no matter what you're into Warhammerwise. Also the most helpful and friendly staff who genuinely love you being there and encourage you to get involved in anything you want to try.

Surprisingly not hit by a wall of Lynx deodorant upon entry. Definitely not a cheap hobby. Little plastic soldiers have come a long way.

This place is absolutely amazing. You have to visit this. The staff is incredibly cool.

If your in to Warhammer then this is the place to visit , if you cannot find what you want here in the shop I would be very suprised . Even if you cannot find it on the shelf ask one of the many staff that are in store as they can check whats in the back . Visit the exhibition to see what has and can be achieved . Its worth the tine and trouble.

You can buy tyranid candles, bringing your date back home to the scent of toxicrene spores will always set the mood just right.

An amazing place to visit for those who love the hobby, just don't tell the missus how much you've spent.

Great service at the counter. A must visit for warhammer fans.

The first time I came into contact with Warhammer, I was amazed and shocked. Each display was carefully crafted and designed. I highly recommend visiting it.

Impromptu visit with the boy. Brilliant day out: lovely people and uniquely talented artists' work on show

For The Emperor! 38 years to complete my pilgrimage to the Holy Nottingham after picking up the first edition at the age of 8. I am not sure whether the experience has left me blessed and illuminated in His golden light, or blighted by the grim darkness of the Throneworld. The latter possibly, with the ever growing tear across real space from the 40K IP, this is a real area that could be invested in and exploited, all for His glory. I was alarmed and dismayed to find the psychic choir of the Golden Throne-shop so poorly stocked and empty. Although I was able to make plentiful contribution to the adepts, clearly something is amiss at the epicenter of the Imperium. And yet, I leave happy with my faith ever stronger. The Emperor Protects!

Some incredible exhibitions and a chance to see some amazing displays. There was a tournament on when we were there so we had a chance to see some live action. Everyone we encountered was helpful and friendly. We were lucky to have Milo share his expertise and obvious passion for warhammer. He helped us get exactly what we needed and was really patient with us. Really cool.

Pete was incredibly helpful throughout the entire booking process! He went above and beyond to help me find the perfect weekends and ensure table availability for my gaming group. No detail was overlooked — he was thorough, professional, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was organised smoothly. If you have any questions or need help with bookings, don’t hesitate to reach out to Pete. His dedication and willingness to assist are truly exceptional!

I was absolutely astounded by the vast array of dioramas and exhibits here today. Fully did not expect it. The store is fantastically stocked and the tavern is Immersive and comfortable. Food was good, drinks were reasonable and staff throughout were friendly and knowledgeable. I will be back!

You gotta be a Warhammer fan to truly appreciate the displays and atmosphere but even without being that acquainted with the lore, you can not be unimpressed by the thousands of carefully build and painted miniatures and the impressive dioramas. It's well worth the trip. Plus, the Warhammer staff is awesome, always ready to help and share tips and knowledge or even just a passionate chat about the brand, stories, factions etc. Even with a good number of visitor they offer a free miniature building or painting workshop and the staff helps everyone to discover the hobby with patience and pedagogy, i spent more than an hour there with my son and i never felt like they wanted the seat back or for us to speed up. This was truly a day to remember. Thank you.

Amazing day out great place to go excellent food and drink

Unique models you can't get anywhere else, great dioramas and bugmans is so on point. Currently it is a catering van outside as they redo the kitchen but it doesn't take away from the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

As a group we made the wargaming pilgrimage to Warhammer World. It was such a good day, the exhibition is amazing and took us two hours to browse through. Free parking and not to busy. Only downside, kitchen was closed in Bugman's and only food was outside at a food truck, limited menu.

The perfect place to go for any Warhammer fan!

I've been there twice and will probably go a third time. It's a very good exhibition, and it's nice to be able to paint quietly and wander around the players' tables. It's a pleasant day.

Fantastic place for children as there’s comfortable cafe to wait, for many hours lol! Really good atmosphere and great set up - awesome!

Although I am not really a Warhammer fan, I went with my husband for his birthday. I did really appreciate how much work had gone into painting the models and making the dioramas. The level of detail on the models was amazing. For example, the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit models all resembled the actors from the films. Bilbo Baggins was very much a tiny Martin Freeman. I think that any Warhammer fan will really have a great trip out here.

A must for any Warhammer/GW enthusiast, beautiful displays, fantastic food and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. If you are wanting to play there is a huge hall with tonnes of tables and terrain, just beware that it can be pretty full on weekends and reserving a table ahead of time is your best bet

Its the home of warhammer, if thats your jam, its smashing. Makes sure you prebook a table if you want to play. Bugmans food is sooo good.

Great place to visit if you are an enthusiast or just looking to get started. Amazing exhibition and nice cafe/bar.

What's not to like from the home of Games Workshop 🤷

Literally the holy palace of terra.

Great place to play, foods great and staff are awesome

4.5 hours on my feet but the husband and son loved it. Great exhibits, store, painting zone, gaming hall, even Bugman’s street food truck was great and allowed inside seating in Bugmans Bar.

This isn't a place that only Warhammer fans will enjoy. The Exhibition Centre is an amazing showcase of dioramas, as well as the history of GW and White Dwarf. It's worth the price of admission, and you can spend hours appreciating the art. Bugman's Bar has great food at reasonable prices, with some Black Library books available to read while you wait. The store offers exclusive items, as well as ForgeWorld and other Games Workshop minis.

What a place! Any fans of the hobbies have to visit! With only an £8 entry fee to see all the incredible dioramas, you can easily get lost for 2-3 hours checking out the best of the best, taking part in a ‘find the assassin’ game, and visiting the shop to make the most of the inspiration you’ll definitely feel after seeing your favourite heroes painted in all their glory. The staff are friendly and approachable and the food hall, while busy, is reasonably priced as your plates come PACKED with food. It was it great!

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

I am not objective. My neck became like the sleeve of a Roc Naige when I saw the hammer logo on the facade. It's very cool. The museum has giant dioramas, perhaps, somewhat soulless at times, with all the minis painted in a chain, but if you pay attention, you manage to discover small stories within the huge scene. Little oldhammer preservation, but good. And Buggmans has much better food than I imagined, and at a good price

Absolutely amazing place, each exhibition is well thought out and displayed, it's well worth paying for and so cheap

ORKS IZ DA BEST, PUNY UMIES IZ GONNA GIT KRUMPED!!! GORK AN MORK FOREVA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!!!

Amazing experience with my friends and when I took my mum there she was amazed Bugmans is a Amazing restaurant and I highly recommend it 10/10

Great place to go. Mitch has always been friendly and remembers me and my boys every time we go in. He is a credit to Warhammer fans!

I mean if you’re looking at this place you’re probably already sold on going and it is absolutely worth it. Easy to reach by public transport, great half day out if you’re not there to game.

Had a great weekend here gaming. The stormcast ale is delicious!

If you like warhammer, a must visit. Great ambience, helpful staff, superb displays and great beer... what more could a manling want?! Update- lots of exclusive/ rare merch

If you like anything Warhammer related then go. It's pretty cool!

Great place for a visit and really good bar/ restaurant with a good atmosphere

So. Many. Miniatures!! Amazing exhibition, definitely a must see. If you have, bring your figures and book a table with terrain to play ahead of time. You can also play an intro session of AoS, Kill Team and other games on demo tables. 100% recommend a visit.

This is grace land to those in the hobby, and the staff make it worth the visit as many do from all over the world,also best coffee ever..

2nd time visiting. The inspiration I get from here is fantastic. Stunning museum of intense detail. The staff here are friendly aswell as the other customers. Huge gaming area if you were to want to play, aswell as painting area. I ended up getting carried away buying a Chaos Glottkin which I have zero regrets on! I will definitely be back for another visit in the future.

Warhammer can be a bit daunting as a new hobby. Warhammer World in Nottingham has been extremely welcoming. My son and I have been doing the Battle Honours which is a great intro. We have been going for a few months now and have been guided by Mitch Sankey in the painting area, who deserves a special mention. He has brought the hobby to life with his help, enthusiasm and incredible knowledge.We have seen him introduce so many people to the hobby and he is a huge credit to this place. Thanks Mitch and we are hugely enjoying our journey.

For anyone who has an interest in the hobby, I would say this is a must visit. The diorama's were incredible, they showcase just how epic the battles are that take place across Old World, AOS, 40K, and Middle Earth. I think the best bit for myself, though, was a trip down memory lane, seeing the original models and where it all began. I can not comment on the food as I didn't have anything, but the shop was brilliant, literally has everything, even the online only stuff.

If you like GW then you will LOVE this place!

HQ of Games Workshop and the Mecca for the hobby.

Just a quick visit so #1 son could have a mooch around. Usual range of figures and models. Helpful staff in store.

Great facilities for enthusiasts but lift is really outdated and not the best with a pushchair, food is mediocre at best had a chicken burger all seemed extremely bland , chips not bad . Could do with improvements in those areas but as for the warhammer aspect pretty good 👍🏼

Warhammer world is amazing place especially if you enjoy Warhammer, bring the kids and you can build and paint a free model. The food is a bit expensive and takes a while but is good quality. Breakfast is better value than the main menu. (Not sure why they removed the all day breakfast). The exhibition is amazing and the gaming tables are great.

Today we had the chance to visit Warhammer World, the Warhammer HQ in Nottingham at the annual celebration, paint some figures and play some games. Also had the chance to talk with staff and know a bit more of this hobby that has been with me since I was a kid. I want to also want to thank Victoria for the worderfull atention and welcoming. Spoiler free, but It you are a Warhammer fan you will enjoy. For the emperor!!!

What isn't to like. If you like table top wargamming and warhammer, you have to visit. Museum is impressive, game tables as far as the eye can see, great staff and the chance to buy thing normally mail order. Plus Bugmans bar (although due to be updated spring 25)

Great day trip. Lots of dioramas in the museum and awesome paint jobs. Lots of tables as well (requires booking in advance but can be obtained on the day because of cancellations).

It's just amazing. If you have any interest in Warhammer you have to go here.

One word can some up our visit. Fantastic! Every staff member we spoke to, was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. A thorough tour of the shop was had, before going through the exhibition. Seen so many awesome dioramas with many superb artists work on display. Could've stayed longer, if time constraints allowed, but, had to leave to head home. So, a purchase was made with plans to revisit next time we are in the area.

Whether you are a Warhammer fan or just in the area, this place is 100% worth a visit. I am not into Warhammer but my daughter is and I absolutely loved the visit. We spent 4h there and loved the dioramas, the story behind Warhammer and painting my first one (Space Marine if you wonder) as well as playing my first game. Don’t eat at the restaurant it’s gross though.

Wonderful, the home of Warhammer. I attended a Blood Bowl tournament here and it was organized so well, great staff and prizes. I did however pay £7.80 for a pint which is absolutely unacceptable 🤣 Everything is extremely expensive, even a pint of pop is £4. That's my only gripe.

If you are into warhammer in all it's forms then you would love this place. Food is not cheap. But well worth it. And the examination halls are unbelievable.

Took my boys here on a trip here whilat up north and was not disappointed. Amazing exhibition with all the Warhammer you could want. My sister who went is not a 40k fan but was still really impressed with all the models and scenes. Great store there as well for all your needs. The price was decent for 2 adults and 2 children and felt good value. Even though I've seen it I'd happily go back. Parking can be difficult though.

Very nice, a must have for any Warhammer fan. For free you can get in the largest warhammer store in the world, with the entire model range including forge world, and for pretty cheap you access the exhibition, I’m not an aos player but their dioramas looked good, and the 40K ones are amazing, there’s so many hidden details. There’s also a massive display with titans that you can stare at for hours. If you find a specific model in that diorama you can keep it, but due to the lighting it can be pretty hard to find, and I don’t know anyone who has found it. There’s also a restaurant with nice food

Absolutely love Warhammer world. Need to visit again

The exhibition is highly recommended :)

Always a pleasure visiting WHW!

Recently moved to the area and wanted to check out the shop, my partner and I were met with a warm welcome and got chatting about Warhammer from the guy in the shop (I forget his name) He mentioned they do painting classes for Warhammer minis and do lots for DoE which is amazing.

Such a great place to witness warhammer in its full. Plenty to see on a day's visit, lots of great models on display. Good to see the table room full of people playing (there was a game day on). I am fairly new to warhammer and I am in my 40s, never really took any interest in it before. Great shop which has lots of choice. Very friendly staff.

Great for any sci-fi, fantasy or Warhammer fan. I would love if there was a Museum area of the Exhibition area - for nostalgia and also to see how far the models and games have come. Would also be nice for a mini side space for other Games Workshop Warhammer games like Talisman series, Space Hulk and HeroQuest, etc.

Very good experience for those interested in the hobby, not much to see unless you pay for the exhibition areas.

I'm not a fan but my eldest is so when it's their choice, we go. My eldest loved it. The exhibition is impressive. There was a tournament on so it was cool to watch how it's done and see other people's models. The website is rubbish for info and you can't book tickets for a specific day in advance but we turned up fairly early and didn't have a problem. The bar/restaurant food wasn't great but given where it is there wasn't much choice. Staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my first go at painting a model.

Nerd mecca. Expensive in all facets, but you knew that already.
