Ticket Sales Extended01/07/2026
Exciting news! Over the last few days we've had large number of queries about wanting to order tickets, despite our cut-off date.
Having gone back and forth with the venue... we've been able to increase our capacity a little more, AND we can now take tickets orders for this additional capacity up to and including Saturday, the day of the show itself!
There are some very distinct particulars that need to be adhered to in order to make this possible. So if you're going to order on or before Saturday, please read the details below, as this is how it has to work --
• All tickets (incl. any purchased on Saturday) can only be purchased here at GundamMad.co.uk: [link to listing]
• Any tickets purchased will need to complete a registration form.
These will be sent via email (separate to the order confirmation message) in advance of the show. But have no fear, if you've not received any registration form via email by 6pm on Friday (10th), the process can/will be completed on the door at our registration desk.
• Important note: ID must be presented at the registration desk to complete the registration process. (This is a mandatory requirement for all tickets purchased to the event, not just for this new allocation.)
• Ticket sales on GundamMad.co.uk will close at 2pm on Saturday 11th July.

Beginner Model Kit Workships11/06/2026
We often get asked by folks looking to get into the hobby 'what's a good first kit to build?' or 'where do I start?'
We've taken that on board and want to give attendees in that very scenario an opportunity to build their first ever kit, for free!
Throughout the day in our Activities Room we'll be having Beginner Model Kit Building Workshops where folks can build their first ever kit!
We'll provide everything you need to take part - the kit, the tools, etc - and our team will be on hand to guide you every step of the way. Oh and did we mention, you get to take the model you build home with you too!
If you want to look it up, the kit you'll be building is a Workshop Gundam RX-78-2, a great place to start your journey of building kits!
At its core, building model kits is a huge part of the history @gundammad , that ultimately leading to Day of the Gundam even happening, and is a massive reason why we (and likely you reading this) have connected with so many people. So it's our chance to help folks find out why we love this so much!
Cinema Room Return04/06/2026
It was a popular destination for some attendees last year, and we're happy to confirm the Cinema Room returns this year!
You can a expect a showcase of mecha anime throughout the entire day inside. What will be showing? Well, that's a secret! You'll have to be there to discover what's on.

If you're looking to brush up on your techniques or perhaps learn something new entirely, these will definitely be ones to keep an eye on!
Gundam Card Game for Beginners23/04/2026
The Gundam Card Game is something we're very big fans of and we wanted to give folks who have never played the game a chance to experience it! We're happy to confirm we'll have 8 dedicated tables complete with all the equipment needed (i.e. decks, etc) for beginners to try the game!
And with that in mind, we're also excited to announce that Gundam and video game content creator, Stephanie Rose (aka thegamerblonde) is coming to Day of the Gundam 2026 and will be hosting a panel about the Gundam Card Game!
We'll have more specific details about this panel closer to the event, but Stephanie is firmly entrenched in the GCG community as someone who regularly competes in tournaments and is also an official judge for the game!
Alessio Cavatore Returns with Mantic Games22/04/2026
We’re excited to announce the wonderful Alessio Cavatore is returning to Day of the Gundam for the second successive year, but this with a primary focus of the upcoming Ghost In The Shell tabletop role playing game from Mantic Games that he’s created!
He and his colleagues from Mantic will be running character creator sessions for Ghost In The Shell! These sessions are free throughout the day and are a unique opportunity we’re delighted to bring you!
But that’s not all from Mantic Games! In our dedicated activities room (more on that soon) they’ll be hosting playable demonstrations of HALO: Flashpoint, as well as sharing an exclusive first look at the Ghost In The Shell tabletop role playing game!
Plus if that wasn't enough, Mantic Games will be in our Dealer Room throughout the day too.
Activities Room and Speed Build21/04/2026
We've been mentioning the Activities Room and today we have another addition to tell you about!
The Speed Build was very popular last year and it's back again at our 2026 event, taking place in our Activities Room.
This year it'll have a maximum capacity of 50 people and it's completely free to enter!
However, if you want to take part have to register.
We'll be taking registrations on a first come first served basis [at a time & location inside the venue that will be announced nearer to the day of the event itself.]
This is to allow as many people as possible to enter the venue and have a chance at being able to register. The Speed Build itself won't be until the afternoon.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: We'll share the exact time & location of where to register closer to the day of the event, but we can say now registrations for this won't be until at least an hour after doors have opened, and registrations for this WILL NOT be in the Activities Room itself.)
There will be some limited edition prizes up for grabs, based on both speed of building and interesting interpretation.
And of course, the Speed Build being in the Activity Room is in addition to the folks at Mantic Games being on hand with playable demos of HALO: Flashpoint and character creator sessions for their upcoming Ghost In The Shell tabletop role playing game - with the game's creator Alessio Cavatore on hand! Plus, the opportunity for beginners to try playing the Gundam Card Game!
