About Bastion Indie Market
Bastion Indie Market is run by the organisers of the small Bastion Tabletop Convention in North Wales, in collaboration with the team at UK Games Expo. We love discovering new games, especially when they're interesting and unique.
The Indie Market is our attempt to bring the growing indie market scene to the UK. Modelled after successful events like the Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged, we hope to support and encourage the UK indie game scene by providing a place to showcase your games without a huge financial investment.
