Norwich Games Festival welcomes thousands of visitors. In 2019, for our last full (6-day) Festival, it was estimated that 58,000 people attended! We relaunched in 2024, for a 3-day festival, and welcomed over 27,000 visitors.
We’re a family-friendly festival, supporting local communities, educational organisations and industry and are incredibly grateful to our partners and sponsors for helping make the event happen.
Our aim is to make Norwich Games Festival accessible, with an abundance of fun, hands-on, educational and informative content fully funded and free to engage with. Sponsorship also enables us to subsidise talks and workshops and keep these events super low-cost.
We celebrate the fun and educational aspects of gaming, support independent developers and game-related businesses and highlight opportunities for budding creative and tech through our programme of events, which feature industry leaders. This focus and free entry makes us uniquely special and different from other gaming festivals.
"Superb attendance, great opportunity to promote the support we had available, and played really neatly into the mapping work we are doing to support and promote our regional gaming sector."
We would like to create collaborative connections and partnerships for Norwich Games Festival 2025, whether you want to raise your brand awareness, reach new audiences and / or meet your organisation’s objectives, you can get involved in a number of ways, all of which will help support the Festival, local people and visitors, and celebrate East Anglian-based business and enterprise.
When Norwich Games Festival relaunched in 2024, over 27,000 people attended over the 3-day event! Audiences included families, students and industry professionals across all age groups, and 2025 is set to be even bigger.
"We have also made it our mission to work with sponsors, partners and organisations to do our bit in supporting the local games industry by promoting growth and sustainability by bringing people together through meaningful networking events and strategic planning." - Ellie Buchan, Norwich Games Festival Producer
