RSS Feed: Neil Blumfield has kindly set up an RSS feed based on this site, the URL for which is http://feed43.com/british-rpg-convention-list.xml. I should say that I've not tried this out myself, especially since this page changed its URL.
Calendar File Form: Roger Bell West has set up a site which converts this page to standard calendar file format, and updates that file periodically. See http://firedrake.org/infobot/ics/conventions.ics for this. Or - I'm told that by using webcal://firedrake.org/infobot/ics/conventions.ics instead, you should be able to "subscribe" to this calendar. Again, I haven't looked at this since this page changed URL.
If you want your convention listed here, e-mail me with a date and URL.
3rd-5th May: ConTRAPtion 2019, at Chatsworth Hotel, The Steyne, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 3DU. "£35 for gaming weekend, with Dinner and cinema as separate." See https://warhorn.net/events/contraption-2019 for more details as they become available.
11th-12th May: North Star 2019, at The Garrison Hotel, 635 Penistone Road, Sheffield, S6 2GB. Specifically a science fiction roleplaying game convention -- five sessions worth of SF RPGs. See http://www.northstarcon.org.uk/ for more details.
18th-19th May: 30th Beer & Pretzels, at Burton Town Hall, King Edward Place, Burton upon Trent, DE14 2EB. Day tickets £5 in advance, £7 on the door; Weekend tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door. See https://www.spiritgames.co.uk/ for more details and booking.
31st May-2nd June: UK Games Expo 2019, at The NEC, North Ave, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT & Hilton, Pendigo Way, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1PP. The UK's biggest games convention of the year, so even though the RPG element is just a minority part of it, it's large - and there's also the trade hall and so forth. Plenty of RPG sessions have now been announced; see http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/ for full details, including prices.
5th-7th July: Summer Stabcon 2019, at the Britannia Hotel, Stockport, SK2 6AG. The latest in a very, very long-running twice-yearly series of general tabletop games events with a fair amount of roleplaying going on. Summer Stabcon 2019 will (I believe) again be at the Britannia Hotel, Stockport, which has a large amount of conference space and all the usual facilities including a leisure centre with pool; there's usually a private bar for attendees with a range of beer and cider obtained specifically for the convention. Stabcon attendance is restricted to over-18s in general, although the con will accept babies who are not yet independently mobile and teenagers who are accompanied by a family member.
Full weekend price is, I think, £15 at first, £17.50 after some date, with single day membership £7.50 rising to £8.75. Equally, on past form, rooms in the hotel are likely to be around £54/night for a single, £59/night for a double or twin, £74/night for a triple or family room. Note that the event has often come close to or hit its numeric limits in recent years, so advance booking is strongly advised. For booking forms or if you have any questions, please contact bookings@stabcon.org.uk.
6th-7th July: LongCon 2019, at The Garrison Hotel, 635 Penistone Road, Sheffield, S6 2GB. A convention dedicated to long RPG sessions that may run over the full weekend. See https://www.thedodd.com/longcon-home for more details.
