The National Space Centre is inviting visitors to shake off the winter blues and step into a world of imagination as To Boldly Game takes over the iconic Leicester venue from 31 January to 1 February 2026. For one weekend only, the Centre will transform into a vibrant hub for tabletop gamers, families and curious minds, blending board games, roleplaying games, creativity and science-inspired play against a backdrop of towering rockets and immersive galleries.
Designed for all ages and experience levels, To Boldly Game offers everything from space and STEM-themed board games to epic RPG sessions, miniature painting workshops, championships and friendly competitions. Live demonstrations, open play areas and creative hobby zones will keep the Centre buzzing throughout the weekend, encouraging hands-on learning and curiosity in a fun, welcoming environment. Visitors will also have the chance to meet the people behind the games, with a wide range of independent and established publishers, designers and creators in attendance, including Hachette Boardgames UK, Absolute Ascendancy, Atikin Games, Geeky Meeples, Split Stone Games and more.

Standard admission includes access to the National Space Centre’s award-winning galleries, exhibitions and attractions, along with a free upgrade to an Annual Pass, allowing unlimited return visits for a full year.
