Warhammer World in Nottingham

Took my son's as they are obsessed with Warhammer and they had the best day ever there

We had an amazing time. We booked a gaming table so we could play during the day as well as taking in the exhibition. If you like Warhammer then this is a must visit. Everyone who worked there was really friendly as well.

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 family 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 providing you with photos of some dioramas, including my favorites, to make your mouth water, 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.

Great! Epic for models and gaming. Food was just ok nothing special but you don't go there for food you go for warhammer

Well worth your time & effort going.

This place is fantastic for a visit, the displays are amazing to see and the pub part is well themed and a pleasant experience with good food available. One of the great things about this hobby is that even if you don't have much knowledge of it, there are always people happy to speak to you about it. This is definitely worth a visit, and a good day out, the only drawback I found was that there wasn't enough parking spots, but other than that, highly recommended.

Genuinely amazing place, I have been collecting warhammer since I was a kid and love the universe and the models. I've been here a couple of times, the exhibitions are great, the shop has amazing unique figures, there are many tables to play the game and the atmosphere is great. Many amazing props and dioramas to look at. Overall awsome place, highly recommend

Awesome place to come for fans of all Games Workshop games and products! Always friendly staff. The museum is fantastic and crammed with amazing models and dioramas well worth the price of entry for fans. The gaming hall is full of great tables (sadly many of the large themed tables are gone, replaced with neoprene mats, but some of the themed ones remain). Bugman's is a very convenient place to fill up with food and drink between games, and of course there's the fully stocked shops!

Warhammer World in Nottingham is a must-visit for Warhammer fans. It offers stunning dioramas, an immersive museum, and top-tier gaming tables. Bugman’s Bar adds charm, making it a unique hobbyist haven

Love visiting! We’ve been many times, staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. Enjoying for the entire family.

An amazing place. Defo check out the museum!

Incredible, best thing I've seen in a long time

Brilliant exhibit, staff and food. A must for Warhammer fans.

Super cool, I've been waiting a long time to finally get there. It exceeded my expectations! Very nice staff and a lot worth seeing. Looking forward to next time

Been playing Warhammer since 1987 and finally visited the home of it all. A very memorable and emotional visit as this hobbly has always been there through good times and bad over the last 37 years. Also got to see models that were painted iwhen I was just starting out. The hobby has grown so much from when I started but I was still made to feel welcome and had some good chats with the staff there. Also got to share all this with my young son who is also a fan. A really great day out and great value for money.

Always an excellent place to go!

Visited with my partner on the weekend before New Year's. Access to the exhibition halls was discounted for the holiday season, which was a great surprise. Very impressive dioramas and thousands of models on display! The staff were excellent - very welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable. My partner ended up spending around 2.5 hours painting a model, receiving really useful painting tips with access to a wide range of paints. She had a really positive experience, and there were all ages and genders there learning and sharing tips. I wandered the store, talking to enthusiastic staff members about Necromunda without feeling like I was pressured to buy there and then, and had a snack at Bugman's. The restaurant had a good range of food on offer at fine prices. The game boards in the main hall were busy with players when we arrived mid-afternoon - more so than I expected for the time off year! Good vibes all around!

Great Warhammer experience that caters to all parts of the hobby. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Soo much to do for any WH fan! Not to mention great food in the food area too!

The shop is fine, the minis are expensive. The price for the candles they sell is extortionate. There was of course plenty of sweating. I enjoyed the interaction with the staff. These new young whippersnappers don't take the Warhammer men too seriously and that's a nice change. Let's celebrate war!

A absolute must if you are a fan of the hobby. Brilliant gaming tables, amazing value on the museum and exhibition. Cool store exclusives as well. Only gripe would be that Bugmans is VERY expensive. Only bought a burger, sandwich and tacos, somehow came to £44

Absolutely worth checking out, even if you don’t know or play any warhammer it’s an unbelievable series of miniatures and dioramas.

Had a great day at Warhammer World. Entrance is free and there is loads of stuff to see and take photos of. We even got to sit down and paint our first miniature, then take it home in a box

Don’t bother. Called them up asked them to hold a book for me as it’s a long drive. They said they would got there to find that they had sold my copy to someone else. So all in all a wasted 2 hours of driving and petrel. Don’t bother with there terrible staff.

Always love making a trip to Warhammer World when I can. Great for the hobby and the gaming hall is always lively. But for the ultimate experience you have to visit the hall of miniatures, what a sight to behold. My only negative is that I feel there should always be more unique gifts available that you can't get anywhere else to add that extra shine to your pilgrimage. This could be an out of stock issue though.

Warhammer World was packed, as always, though the staff still took time to help and provide assistance. I was able to find what I was looking for with ease, and despite the crowds the shop was easy to navigate.

Absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend! Kids under 11 go free, amazing! My kids were absolutely blown away and even my autistic son loved it too and he was in no rush at all and took his time taking it all in. 😍 None of my kids wanted to leave. They have a great bar for food and drinks too. My kids review was that we are going back again and again. 🤩 great setup Warhammer, its was awesome!

Great little midweek hobby/mental health break with some mates. Great location, fun mini tournament, good food and drink and got some more toy soldiers. Will go again (and maybe this time remember photos)

My visit to Warhammer World in Nottingham was absolutely fantastic, with the highlight being the incredible painting tutorial led by Amber and Peter. Their passion and expertise made the experience both engaging and inspiring, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter. Amber’s patience and encouragement paired perfectly with Peter’s technical insights, creating a fun and supportive environment where everyone could succeed. I left not only with a painted miniature but also with new skills and painting confidence. Thanks team!

Love this place been 3 times abd loved it every time Amazing customer service

Wow, that was indeed an amazing exhibition of miniature and war-gaming love. So many intricate and lovingly assembled dioramas, kudos! The Bugman's Bar was a nice place to rest after the tour through the wonderland and chat about it.

I lifelong desire and well worth the pilgrimage, as a 40K Fan and Imperial Fist collector this was a great day out for me. Took my Son & Dad along with me. Since visiting I am now open to starting other models and branching out from more than 40K thanks to the displays & paint station where I picked up a Liberator Sigmarine from Age of Sigmar. Now got the bug for the fantasy realm and eager to up my terrain dioramas in both 40K and all areas of model making. Amazed to see so many people from all over the world here, lucky to live in Birmingham so near! Will certainly return again on a solo trip so I can spend more time at each display. The Emperor Protects.

Fantastic place to visit if you are a big fan of Games Workshop / Warhammer. Great service, friendly staff and cope well even when it's busy.

Home of Games Workshop and Warhammer. If you're looking to play, they're inconsistent with reserving tables so always worth asking. Might be told there are no reservations, but people definitely get them booked!

Great day out for all ages, if youre a hardcore fan or new beginners this place never fails to blow my mind. Such time effort and dedication by all involved. Bar is great and food is really nice. Will be returning soon for another look around. My advice go early and walk slowly to take it all in.

Great pilgrimage for Warhammer fans

I'm writing this review in hopes that good actions don't go unnoticed. I visited 2 weeks ago, and just like many overseas fans, I acted as a shopping cart for my friends back home. At checkout, I noticed that I was expected to pay a large sum of import tax had I made the purchase for international delivery in one lump sum. Laine, the gw staff working the counter, perfectly empathised with my situation and worked patiently to help me devise a solution to solve my problem. I greatly appreciate the help provided during my shopping! This is not even mentioning the diorama and exhibition halls, which are fantastic. An absolute must-visit.

Fantastic place, always wanted to visit when I was a teenager, had the pleasure of taking my 6 year old who loved the experience! Would definitely go again

I absolutely love this place, a great experience and worth the 3hr drive. The food and vibe in Bugmans was also top.

If you enjoy warhammer in any capacity this is a must visit. Fantastic location. Full of incredible painted minis and dioramas. Massive well stocked gift shop Full of minis, and the bugmans bar is a really pleasant spot with some excellent drinks and snacks. And if you aren't a warhammer fan. It's still fun to accompany the war hammer fan in your life. across the massive array of models and charming staff you'll surely find something to enjoy

Surprised my eldest son with a trip to warhammer world as he is just started to get interested in warhammer . He lost his mind as we pulled up a massive figure and tank outside and he didn't stop smiling. It's free to enter and you can watch people battling , the staff and super friendly and so helpful went through what we would need as a starter kit and even got him sat down and another member of staff helped him to contruct and paint his first space marine

Great place to spend the day. Displays are fantastic, shop is great, and bugmans bar is excellent.

Awesome experience. Brilliant friendly staff that make you feel welcome and get you involved in all the activities available. Even if you're not into table top gaming. The artwork alone is well worth the visit. The themed restaurant was really good too. A great day out.

This is my idea of a very nice day out. They say unparalleled diorama, and they are right. You couldn't find better anywhere else.

Greatly enjoyed my long awaited visit. Touring the exhibition turned quickly from a "taking a nosey for a tenner' to a handful of hours of admiring the work of talented painters and other hobbiests. It was wonderful to see other properties such as LOTR too, a welcome surprise that will bring me back again. Once through the exhibit I took time to browse the shop and found most everything I could have imagined. As an aspiring hobbiest I was welcome to settle in and paint a model with plenty of helpful staff and friendly strangers around to guide me. A great place to visit as a newcomer and I will enjoy many visits moving forward to keep showing off and stocking up.

Before going with 4 boys, driving 2 hours to get there, I was worried that we would be in and out in half an hour. Upon arriving I was surprised at the queue forming before opening time, of which we were first 👍 however when we got in there, it truly is a monument to Warhammer. The model exhibits are outstanding even for a non Warhammer-rer like myself. They spent time in the exhibition centre marvelling at the amazing scale and detail of the models. I got myself a sneaky mocha in bugmans bar, they got their mini of the month and built them at the modelling table, they played a game with one of the Warhammer sales guys. All in all we were just over 2 hours and the boys, being big Warhammer fans, were very happy. Just the 2 hours driving back home again now..via KFC 😁 Next time definitely going to book a gaming table.

Loved it, will be back asap. Friendly staff, excellent restaurant with quality food that is served quickly. Plenty to look at through out and lots to admire. Prefect for anyone that is in to the hobby or curious. Younger children also welcome and even an area for them to pick and paint their own miniature.

Great place to go for Warhammer, exhibitions are definitely worth paying for :)

Great experience going with Rally Point to support MIND

It was the third time there. The previous time have been 12 years ago. They managed in improving a place that was already perfect. The exhibition is incredible. Spent 8 hours there. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the one of people sharing the passion for the same hobby and having a good time. Definitely worth the whole trip to UK for a Warhammer enthusiast

Very nice, even for the uninitiated. Great day with my teenager, absolute fan of the universe

Great atmosphere. Nice pub and good food. Lots to do if you love the hobby

Great place when you like Warhammer, there is an entrance fee for the exhibition, it's worth it,though. The shop is well stocked, but there are only few things you can only get there.

wow! It's the best... Can't close mouth. I was really lucky to be able to come here as a Warhammer player^^ Amazing exhibits and a lively game room. I was envious of people of all ages and genders enjoying themselves together.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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 👍🏻

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!!!

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?!
