Warhammer World: Shop Reopening

You’ve been asking by the thousands* for news of when Warhammer World, the spiritual home of the Warhammer hobby, will be opening again. We can confirm that the store area will be opening on Saturday the 18th of July!

Before you get too carried away, this really is only a limited reopening at this time, made with the intention of serving hobbyists for whom Warhammer World is their closest store. If that’s you, then the staff are looking forward to giving you an appropriately socially distanced welcome.

The Important Bit

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Games Workshop has taken every care to look after the safety of both customers and colleagues, and a limited reopening of Warhammer World is now possible. Bear with us though, it’s definitely not a full reopening of the entire Warhammer World experience, and there will be a number of safety measures in place for you to bear in mind.

• Only the store areas will be open for now (both the Warhammer store and the Forge World shop). Other parts of Warhammer World, such as Bugman’s Bar, the gaming hall, and the exhibition centre will remain completely closed for the foreseeable future.

• Social distancing will be in full effect – there’ll be plenty of signage explaining the policies and procedures around Warhammer World. Please pay attention and help us keep everyone (especially you) safe while you’re shopping.
• Face coverings are to be worn by all visitors. As in all shops in England from the 24th of July, you’re required to wear a face covering while you visit.
• There might be queues. We’ll be limiting the number of people in store at a time.
• Limited service. There’s no gaming, painting, or events yet. Of course, we want to get back to all the great Warhammer hobby activities we love so much, but safety comes first. When this changes, we’ll let you know.

Your Friendly Local Store

Perhaps the most important message is to thank all of you who have used Warhammer World as your hobby home over the years. Things are slowly heading back towards normality, and for Warhammer World this is the first step.

Gaming might still be a way off yet, but if you’re based locally, in Nottingham, and need to stock up on your hobby essentials, the friendly staff will be happy to welcome you from the 18th.**

Temporary opening times are:

Monday – Sunday: 10am – 6pm

If you’re more distant, please don’t plan your trip to Warhammer World just yet. There are fantastic Warhammer stores around the country, and your nearest will be glad to help you with your hobby needs. Also, never forget – games-workshop.com is always open so if you’d rather have it shipped to your home, we’ll get you what you need quickly and safely.
