Odyssey Video Games & Toy Festival - The Crown Hotel

Odyssey Gaming Festival is bringing two exciting days of retro gaming, toys, collectibles, indie developers, cosplay and family‑friendly fun to Harrogate this Easter.

Taking place at the Yorkshire Event Centre, Odyssey is a colourful celebration of nostalgia, creativity and play. Visitors can explore a huge retro gaming zone packed with classic consoles, handhelds and arcade favourites from the last four decades — perfect for reliving old memories or introducing younger gamers to the titles you grew up with.

Alongside the gaming, the festival features a bustling marketplace of toys, trading cards, artwork, merch and rare collectibles, with specialist traders travelling from across the UK. Whether you’re hunting for vintage treasures, building your TCG collection or looking for something unique, there’s something for every age and interest.

Across the weekend, indie game developers will be showcasing their latest projects, giving guests the chance to try new games early and chat directly with the creators behind them.

Cosplay is welcome all weekend, adding colour, character and brilliant photo opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned cosplayer or trying it for the first time, Odyssey offers a relaxed, friendly space to get involved.

Designed for all ages, Odyssey Gaming Festival is a fun, accessible day out for families, gamers, collectors and anyone looking for something different to do this Easter. With free parking, food vendors and easy access from across Yorkshire, it’s the perfect way to spend the bank holiday weekend.

If you love games, nostalgia, toys or just a brilliant family day out, Odyssey Gaming Festival is the place to be this Easter in Harrogate.
