Travel Summary

Over the course of the weekend, to make managing traffic flow easier. We have agreed with the venue that all traffic will enter the site via Gate A, postcode GU14 6XE or What 3 Words – ///oldest.scans.dozed.

If travelling from the M3 – Access is limited by security bollards through Fowler Avenue and it is advised that all traffic enters the site by turning off of the A325 onto the A327 and taking the first exit off of the roundabout onto Pinehurst Road, taking the first exit at the next roundabout onto Fowler Avenue, and then turning right onto Trenchard Way.

If travelling from the A331, it is advised to exit the A331 to follow Lynchford Road, to go straight over the two sets of roundabouts, onto Government House Road, and then turn right onto Queen’s Gate Road, second exit at the roundabout onto Trenchard Way, and follow the signs for Gate A.

Traffic will then all leave by Gate A on each of the days.

Car parking on site is free all weekend.

For pedestrian access and taxis then you should use Gate B that is directly in front of the atrium entrance.

Warfare 2026 Show Sponsors:

The Wargames Association of Reading would like to thank our sponsors:

Forged in Battle/Westwind

Established in 2007 Forged in Battle (FiB) grew steadily, becoming a major supplier of 15mm WWII tanks and miniatures.

In 2014 we took FiB to Kickstarter, the crowd funding website. This is where we experienced a massive explosion in the growth of the company. Our War & Empire range grew from six armies, to over twenty. Throughout the course of a year we designed, sculpted, moulded and manufactured over half a million miniatures!
