About This Event

In the heart of Nottingham, ARC Space becomes a nexus for creativity at the Game Dev Meetup on August 27, 2026. As the evening unfolds, a diverse array of developers and adjacent creatives—spanning illustration, design, and animation—gather in an atmosphere of relaxed networking. This event marks the second gathering of like-minded individuals, offering a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate within the game development community. With free admission, it promises an engaging evening where the exchange of ideas and experiences is the currency of choice, making it an event worth experiencing on the big screen of innovation and camaraderie.

Join us for our second Game Dev Meetup! Relaxed networking for devs + adjacent creatives (illustration/design/animation).

Welcome to the Game Dev Meetup!

Come join us at ARC Space on Thursday, 27th of August, 19:00 until 23:00 for the first of many planned meetups. This event will be free so grab tickets while they last.

Who are we?

We're a group of Notts-based creatives looking to establish a regular game dev social event in Nottingham. We've been craving an event to connect with other developers and creatives alike in Notts, so we made one!

What to expect

A relaxed networking environment where people working in games and adjacent industries can get together! Grab yourself a drink at the bar, chill and chat in the cosy venue provided by ARC Space, play some games and have a snoop at some local indie projects by local developers.

Whether you're an industry veteran, working professional, or new to the scene, this event is for you; our goal is to help expand people's networks with like-minded individuals. While we're focused on game devs, we know games aren't made in a vacuum, so whether you’re in illustration, animation, or graphic design, come have a chat!

Finding us

ARC Space is situated in Nottingham’s famous Lace Market; it's a 15-minute walk from the train station and is close to the Upper Parliament St Bus Stops. We’ll be on the ground floor at Laceworks Bar!
