🕹️ We are co-hosting a BRAND NEW GAMING EVENT! 🕹️

💥Debug Games Festival - 25th and 26th April 2026💥

Taking place at the Norfolk Showground Arena

GamesFestival.co.uk - TICKETS ARE SELLING FAST

DGF 2026 brings two unforgettable days of games, creativity, and community to the Norfolk Events Centre on 25–26 April 2026
This brand-new video games event is brought to you by the team behind the Bristol and Nottingham Video Game Expo events, in partnership with Norwich’s very own Debug magazine.

We’re also working closely with Did You Know Gaming?, The Spriters Resource, and various other Norwich-based good friends of ours, to be revealed as we get closer to the show.
- A Journey Through Gaming’s Past, Present & Future -

DGF will take you on a journey through gaming’s past, present, and future. From a huge selection of retro titles (including rare and obscure consoles, with appearances from some of the people who made them) right up to the cutting edge of today and tomorrow, with over 100 upcoming games, plus hands-on VR and augmented reality experiences.

And just like any great games festival, you’ll also find artists, traders, and creators bringing unique merch, artwork, and game culture to the marketplace.

- Three Stages, Infinite Inspiration -

Across the weekend, you’ll find three dedicated stages:
The Arena Stage — Home to multiple exciting headline events, including the fan-favourite Did You Know Gaming? quiz and The Dark Room! Other headline shows will be revealed closer to the event, showcasing both local and international talent.

The Debug Stage — Packed with talks and Q&As from accomplished game developers, artists, musicians, and more — sharing anecdotes, insights, and advice to inspire the next generation.

The Academy Stage — A place to learn new skills directly from industry experts, covering everything from streaming and content creation to practical game development techniques.

- Weekly Announcements -

In the build-up, we’ll be revealing more exciting details about DGF 2026 live on stream every Thursday at 8:00pm (UK time) — including new guests, exhibitors, and partners.

- The Debug Mission -

Our mission is simple:
To make games culture accessible, inspire future developers, and entertain everyone who loves video games.
