The Odyssey Video Games & Toy Festival is back for its second year at the Old Swan Hotel.
The festival will take place on Saturday, 31 May, and Sunday, 1 June 2025.
This year, Your Harrogate has teamed up with Odyssey Video Games & Toy Festival to bring visitors an exclusive half-price ticket offer.
For 2025, Odyssey is bringing some new aspects to the festival, such as an exciting new Toy Section, in partnership with ToyLand Toy Shop.
Visitors can dive into a world of retro gaming, arcade machines, AAA titles, competitive gaming, and exclusive merchandise stalls, while also discovering tabletop games, rare collectables, and hands-on toy experiences.
Ahead of the festival, Harrogate BID and Bilton Grange School invite adventurers to take part in a free, town-wide treasure hunt!
Hidden across Harrogate town centre, eight exclusive collectors’ cards featuring unique Harrogate-themed superheroes—designed by local schoolchildren—are waiting to be discovered.
Each card is tucked away in local cafés, shops, and community spaces, encouraging participants to explore and collect them all before the festival begins.
What's to come:
- Retro Video Gaming & Arcade Machines
- AAA Titles & Competitive Gaming
- Merchandise Stalls & Collectables
- Food & Drink for All Gamers
- New Toy Section by ToyLand Toy Shop
