Welcome to Wigan Tabletop Games Club

Don't forget to use the 'Manage Participation' button on the Calendar Event page to indicate whether you will be attending.


We are a tabletop miniature wargaming, boardgame and RPG club based in Winstanley, Wigan. We run regular gaming nights every Friday and Sunday from 7pm until late plus the occasional all day event (check out our calendar to see what's coming up).


On any given evening you might find members playing a variety of Euro and Ameritrash board games, miniature wargames and role playing games. You can also expect to find a few members painting up their latest forces and engaging in a spot of modelling (no, not like that!)

Check out what we've been up to in our forum pages and, if you like what you see, get registered and introduce yourself to the rest of the gang. Better still, come down, see us in person and get gaming.


Club opening times, fees and activities

Opening times: Friday and Sunday Evenings, 7pm until late.

Fees: Your first visit to the club is always free so you can get a feel of who we are and have brew and a chat. After that is £3 per night, or £10 a month via standing order.

Activities: Any type of boardgame/miniature gaming/painting and model making is welcomed at any club meet but over time we have found a typical week see Fridays more board game focused and Sundays more miniature game focus, though this is never a fixed thing and is entirely dependant on individuals organising what they will play and when. We also typically see people painting and modelling at the club, and we have tables and lighting to support that.


Second Sunday Early opening

The second Sunday of each month sees the club opening early to allow time for longer games, this is typically from 2pm but on occasions from noon on request. This years dates are;

11th October

8th November

13th December


Special Event opening - Sunday 1st November 2026.


Legions Imperialis 1000pts Battle Day

The club will be open from 11 am for Setup with Games starting around noon.


If you can only make it later, no problem

You can jump in to play.


We will be playing 1000 points battles (with a one flyer unit limit, though floaters with the transport rule are no restricted). Games will be played on a 4x4 table with the aim to introduce new players as well give veterans a day of fun back playing simpler quicker games. The mission will be a home brew explained on the day. We will have spare armies on the day if you are curious about the game and would like to try.

    So thanks to those of you who donated spray cans, I’ve made a start on the terrain Rik has 3d printed with 7 tiles, and whilst it’s all looking a bit bonkers at this stage it will come together.

    played my first game of AK 47 last night. Enjoyed the game and thanks pete for walking me through it. My rolling of twelve 1's for movement really made the game :D

    My African warband was no match for the 1 unit that held the middle for the entire game.
