RuneFest, the highly anticipated event celebrating all things RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, is making a grand comeback in 2025. Following the unfortunate postponement of the event due to the collapse of event partner Player 1, RuneFest is now set to be an independent extravaganza that promises to be bigger and better than ever.
The event, known for bringing together the vibrant community of RuneScape enthusiasts, content creators, cosplayers, and friends, offers a plethora of OSRS-themed activities, announcements, LAN zones, merch stalls, competitions, and awards. With an additional 1,000 tickets up for grabs, RuneFest 2025 is gearing up to be the largest Runescape and OSRS event to date.
RuneFest 2025 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 1, and Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the NEC arena in Birmingham, England. Fans who had previously purchased tickets for the postponed event are assured that their tickets will still be valid for entry. However, for those unable to attend the rescheduled dates, full refunds are available upon request. Notably, camping options will no longer be offered as the event is no longer partnered with Insomnia, ensuring a seamless refund process for camping add-on purchases.
Meredith Ford, the project lead for RuneFest, expressed gratitude to the fans for their patience during the event’s restructuring, emphasizing the commitment to maintaining the essence of RuneFest as a community-driven celebration of the games. The transition to an independently organized event aims to uphold the tradition of uniting the RuneScape community in a joyous gathering.
For eager fans looking to secure a spot at RuneFest 2025, an additional 1,000 tickets will soon be available for purchase. Organizers have indicated that these tickets will go on sale later in the summer, with ample notice provided to ensure enthusiasts can prepare to secure their attendance.
As the countdown to RuneFest 2025 begins, fans can also explore the world of Old School RuneScape through beginner’s guides or engage in other RPG adventures while eagerly anticipating the event. Stay tuned for more updates on RuneFest 2025 and immerse yourself in the excitement of the upcoming celebration of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape!
