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.

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.
