Wayland Games is turning 15 years old!

Wayland Games is turning 15 years old!

It only feels like yesterday that we were celebrating our 10th Birthday, yet here we are 5 years on and we’re very happy to be here.

The past fifteen years has seen our industry wonderfully transformed, becoming more accessible and diverse than ever before. It’s been fantastic to see our customers responding so positively to our expanding range of products and services, putting their trust in us to meet their needs, and returning again and again. I can’t wait to see what the future brings as we strive to continue as Europe’s largest independent tabletop retailer.
— Stuart Mackaness, General Manager of Wayland Games

What have we been up to the last 15 years? Read on to find out.

Not only did we celebrate reaching 30,000 Trustpilot Reviews with an incredible score of 4.9 out of 5 stars but we started our own green initiatives to become more environmentally friendly. From recycling unwanted toys to environmentally-friendly packaging and beyond, we may be starting small but watch this space.

Warcadle Studios has gone from strength to strength having brought you Wild West Exodus, Mythos, and Dystopian Wars. The team in the studio have enjoyed bringing these IPs to life for the wild west, Lovecraft, and naval wargame players.

We’ve travelled all over the world attending different gaming conventions bringing both Wayland Games and Warcradle Studios to customers and players residing in the UK, Europe, and the USA.

We also welcomed Beasts of War to the Wayland Games family! Having partnered with them in our early days, we were all happy to be back on board together. Warren, Lloyd, and the team over at OnTableTop have continued to create and inspire the tabletop community with their content - and their personalities too of course. 

Warcradle Distribution now supplies friendly local game stores all over the UK and beyond. Retailers can use our one-stop shop to make sure they have enough Warhammer, board games, and associated goodies to keep everyone in their community happy.

Our own friendly local game stores, Wayland Games Centre in Hockley and the OnTableTop Visitor Centre in Coleraine have become tabletop gaming hubs. Supplying free gaming space to all and running different events and tournaments for various tabletop gaming systems, you’ll always find a friendly face waiting for you.

We know we wouldn’t be here without the hard work and dedication of our staff - which is why we take all our staff and their families to Center Parcs for well-earned long weekends away. We’re prepared for our third year away in 2024 and are already excitedly planning the next archery throwdown! 

What will the next 15 years hold for Wayland Games? Only time will tell…
