Nintendo UK Community Calendar: January 2019

Independent Nintendo community events are happening all around the UK every week offering great places to enjoy games on Nintendo Switch while meeting and playing with like-minded Nintendo fans of all ages.

Whether you’re looking for opponents in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, fellow trainers to trade and battle with in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, fellow Grizzco employees for some Splatoon 2 action, or simply want to share the love for your current favourite game, the events posted below are all hosted by trusted friends of Nintendo UK so you'll be sure to meet plenty of friendly faces.
