East Coast Amusement Show Returns for 2026 - Bigger & Better Than Ever

The East Coast Amusement Show, better known as ECAS, returns for 2026 to the Southview Park Hotel in Skegness on Tuesday 19th, Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st May, with an extensive show case of games, prizes and equipment and exhibitors from six companies include: UDC, E-Service, GeWeTe, Russko, 7's Above and Bandai Namco.

This east coast showcase has been running for well over ten years now and continues to grow each year, attracting visitors from up and down the coast as well as further in land. Jonathan Lauder of UDC, "Skegness is a great venue for this show, with some of the best operators in the country within a few miles of each other. There's so many great examples of top flight arcades and amusement centres in the area, all operating the latest games and with their finger on the pulse of the industry. We find it one of the best places to visit and roll out our new games for the forthcoming season."

Visitors need not book or RSVP, you can simply turn up on the day, and work in around your busy schedules. The event has been extended into a third day this year, as many operators tell us that they would like to come but find it hard to find the time during the week. Tuesday and Wednesday are scheduled to run from 10am in the morning until 6pm in the evening, and Thursday will be a half day from 10am to 2pm, so plan accordingly and save the dates in your calendar.

Russko will be exhibiting at the event for the first time and will be showing a range of prizes. Also, joining us for the first time Bandai Namco, showcasing the Embed card system, to show operators in person how it works and what it can do for your business.

We look forward to seeing you in Skegness for ECAS 2026 soon!
