Bolton Gaming Market - Sunday 8th March 2026

The UK's biggest gaming market returns to Bolton on 8th March 2026!

The next Bolton Gaming Market will take place at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. This venue is in a fantastic location, adjacent to Junction 6 of the M61 or two minutes' walk from Horwich Parkway Station.

If you’ve yet to visit a Gaming Market they are collector style events that focus solely on buying and selling games. Simply put, imagine a massive venue filled with nothing but video games and merchandise retailers and thousands of gamers, collectors and fellow geeks eager to find a bargain. Gaming Nirvana!

Whether it’s classic games, consoles, gaming merchandise, old computers or even custom made artwork that floats your boat, you’ll no doubt want to be at this event!
