Open Play

The majority of our game day events are based around open play.

All events will be scheduled on December 29th and any additional events submitted after this will be added. Please note there is a dedicated space for playtesting available - more info below. All game play events are free. If you’re interested in running a craft based event (or something that requires materials), there is a possibility of adding a cost to event tickets.
