Esports News UK is delighted to announce that our first event is officially part of the London Games Festival Fringe.
Our meet-up/social event at London’s Secret Weapon gaming pub is one of more than 25 different events that form the 2017 Fringe. Check out more details about our event and grab your free ticket here.
The Fringe runs from March 30th to April 9th and acts as a celebration of all things video games in London.
Other events during the Fringe include FIFA, NBA and GoldenEye tournaments, as well as the final of the Digital Schoolhouse esports tournament for children.
“London Games Festival is backed by the Mayor of London as part of a ground-breaking project to support, grow and promote the games and interactive entertainment sector and make London the games capital of the world,” Games London said in a statement.
“This exciting and eclectic slate of events complements the main Festival, and includes live performances, competitive tournaments, game design workshops as well as parties, meet-ups and thought-provoking lectures.
“The Fringe demonstrates and highlights the creativity, reach and diversity of the games scene, both in London and the UK.”
