International Games Week 2024

Celebrate International Games Week with our Games Library

International Games Week runs from 7 to 14 November 2024. The week aims to reconnect communities through their libraries using the educational, recreational, and social value of all types of games.

Last year, our Library Service launched its Games Library on International Games Week. This year we want to go bigger and better, hosting a range of events across all our libraries in Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea
