🎲 Ready to Level Up? Third Thursday of the Month (in-term) 🎲

Have you ever wondered what Dungeons & Dragons is all about? Now's your chance to find out!

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a storytelling adventure game where you create your own unique character and work together with other players to explore mysterious worlds, solve puzzles, battle monsters and make decisions that shape the story. No two games are ever the same!

Whether you're an experienced adventurer or you've only ever heard the name, Level Up is the perfect place to jump in. Our friendly group is always happy to welcome new players, explain the rules and help you get started. Not ready to play? Come along, watch a game in action, ask questions and see what it's all about!

We'll also have a selection of other tabletop role-playing games and board games to enjoy throughout the day.
