Games Workshop has announced that on December 12, the Black Library Live festival will return to the home of Warhammer as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Warhammer World exhibition center, located in the UK.
Black Library Live is a celebration of Warhammer fiction and a great way to spend the day for lore enthusiasts. It gives visitors a chance to meet and hear from the authors behind the books published by Black Library.
The day's program will include signing sessions, seminars, and a presentation where attendees will be the first in the world to learn about upcoming Black Library books. The authors confirmed so far are John French, Jude Reid, Gav Thorpe, Robbie MacNiven, Victoria Hayward, Guy Haley, and Robert Rath.
On the day of the event, a dedicated Black Library Live store will be open to all Warhammer World visitors, with ticket holders receiving exclusive early access.
In addition, attendees will have the world's first opportunity to purchase a signed and numbered mega-edition of “The Horus Heresy: The Drop Site Massacre” — ticket holders will have a guaranteed opportunity to buy their copy.
This edition will also appear at other events in 2027, and a limited number of copies will go on general sale at the Black Library Live store on the day of the festival for visitors without tickets.
There will also be a chance to pick up a new illustrated and annotated edition of “Cypher: Lord of the Fallen” by John French. A selection of rare and limited editions will also be available for purchase. Beyond books, attendees will find an array of Black Library and Warhammer merchandise, including special event T-shirts.
Tickets are priced at £30 (3,286 rubles). The ticket provides full access to the event, including seminars, presentations, author signing sessions, and admission to the Warhammer World exhibition.
Warhammer World itself will operate as usual, so even if some visitors are unable to secure a ticket, they will still be able to drop by the main store and the Black Library Live store, buy available books and merchandise, visit the gaming hall, the exhibition, and Bugman’s Bar.
