Knavecon FAQ V1.0

Knavecon is a boardgame convention run twice a year in Limerick in the Castletroy Park Hotel.  It’s primarily card and boardgames with a small amount of tabletop and group games.   A large library of boardgames are provided for use on the day or you’re very welcome to bring your own.  Our staff will be happy to show you how to play any of the games

Yes, accompanied children (under 18) get free entry.  There’s a kid’s corner where younger gamers can partake in simpler games with their minders.  Kid’s corner runs from midday to 4pm.

What Time does it start and end

The convention starts at 10am and runs into the small hours of the following Sunday.  It usually ends around 3 or 4 am.  You can come and go as you please during the day.
