No trip to UK Games Expo 2026 would be complete without bringing a few new games home! This year we added Azul Duel, UNO Skip-Bo and Yonder to Arden’s games collection, and we also discovered the upcoming Carcassonne Labyrinth, which we’re really excited to keep an eye on.

The UK's official annual Bike Week 2026 takes place from June 8–14 and the iconic 7Stanes mountain biking trail centers across the South of Scotland are the perfect destination for the event. Our cottage makes a fabulous base for exploring the trails whatever your experience

One of our real highlights from UKGE 2026 was being lucky enough to meet the designer and artist behind our new favourite game, Kavango by Mazaza Games. We had such a great chat and a demonstration of the upcoming expansion, Kavango Lodges, which looks absolutely brilliant
