First-ever UK Pokémon Go Fest confirmed for London

Friday, May 26, 2023

Pokémon Go will hold its first-ever Go Fest event in the UK this summer, with a three-day bonanza centred in London’s Brockwell Park.

As with last year’s Seattle Go Fest, each day will be split with a half-day in the park, and the rest of the day spent exploring the local area – this time, with bonuses available throughout Greater London.

A version based in Osaka, Japan will run over the same dates, while New York has been chosen to host the event’s USA leg on 18th to 20th August.

There’s no word yet on a focus for Go Fest this year – be that a storyline, featured Pokémon or other exclusives.

But each event is typically a great gathering point for the game’s ever-excitable community – and this time, right here in the UK itself.

2022 saw Pokémon Go Fest return as an in-person event for the first time in three years, with its European portion then held in Berlin.
