Wizards and Warlords – Weekly LARP Games & Archery Training

Getting Started with Wizards and Warlords

Everything you need to know to join our weekly Wizards and Warlords LARP games or Archery Target Training sessions.

What is Wizards and Warlords?

Wizards and Warlords is a weekly fantasy Live Action Roleplay (LARP) combat game where players step into a world of swords, shields and magic.

Players battle using LARP-safe weapons, work together to complete objectives and compete in a variety of game scenarios.

Whether you're an experienced LARPer or have never picked up a sword before, everyone is welcome!

We also offer Archery Target Training every Tuesday night for anyone interested in practising their archery skills. You can attend archery training without participating in the LARP game.

When Do We Play?

Every Tuesday night, with doors opening at 6:30 PM.

What Do You Need to Bring?

Nothing! We provide new players with LARP-safe swords and shields, and even have loaner armour available.
