It’s getting close to that time of year again, as Battleground 2016 takes place on Saturday November 26th, at the Queen’s Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 6BH, running from 10am until 3pm.
This show is organised and run by Pendraken Miniatures with help from Middlesbrough Gamers Club.
Entry to the show is only £3 for adults, with free entry for the rest of the family.
Currently we’re looking to have 37 traders attending, but there may be one or two changes to last year’s lineup. We’ll have all of the traders confirmed by October and we’ll update at that point. A current list of the expected traders can be found here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!traders/c24i2
This year we’re expanding the games section of the show, as well as increasing the number of participation games on offer. We’re waiting on the final details of some of our games, so we’ll keep updating the lists here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!games/c19qp
We’ve always enjoyed having living history groups at our event, with the Durham Pals and 68th DLI returning for 2016. We’ve also added the Lonestar re-enactment group to this year’s event, bringing a selection of 8th Cavalry equipment for people to look at and try on.
Last year’s Tabletop Sale was a great success and was fully booked up all day long. For only £1 per half hour slot, you can sell as much as you like, with no commission at all! You can deal directly with the buyers, answer any questions they may have, and also keep an eye on your goods. Once your time is up (or better still, you’ve sold everything!), you can walk away, cash in hand, and enjoy the rest of the show! This year we’ll try and add a couple more tables, but please make sure to book in early if you can. Bookings can be made through the contact section of the website: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!contact/cn3p

Regular services run from Stockton and Middlesbrough to Teesdale and X1 services from Newcastle, Durham, Sedgefield and Middlesbrough stop outside the Holliday Building on University Boulevard. There are several bus stops on the campus, the closest ones for Battleground being either the Holliday Building stop, or outside the Stockton Riverside College.
By Train:
East Coast Main Line operate high speed services from London, York and Edinburgh to Darlington, with a connection to Thornaby Railway Station.The Transpennine Express provides a direct approximately hourly service from Manchester Airport, Manchester, Leeds and York to Thornaby.
Northern Rail operate a regular service from Saltburn to Newcastle and Bishop Aukland that stops at Thornaby and Durham.
Once you arrive at Thornaby Station, climb the steps and turn right onto the footbridge. Walk over the footbridge and turn right along Station Street. At the roundabout go straight over onto Harvard Avenue, signposted ‘University Campus’, with the glass fronted buildings on your right. Continue down this road, past the entrance to Stockton Riverside College, until you reach another roundabout. Turn right here, signposted ‘University of Durham’. As you reach another roundabout, the venue will be to your right, a white and grey building with the curved sports hall roof visible and ‘Durham University Sports’ written on the side.
If there are any queries at all on getting there, just get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction!
