What is LARP?

LARP (Live Action Role-Playing) is your chance to step into a magical world full of knights, wizards, elves, dragons, and epic quests. It’s not just a game — it’s an adventure where you are the hero of the story. Instead of rolling dice and imagining battles, you live them out, sword in hand, in a world that feels as real as the one you left behind.

Here’s how it works!

Become Your Character:

Create your own hero — a powerful wizard, a noble knight, a cunning rogue, or even a mythical creature like an elf or dwarf. Your character has a backstory, goals, and skills that shape your journey.

Dress for Adventure:

LARP is all about living the fantasy. Dress up in elaborate costumes — armor, cloaks, enchanted staffs, and swords. The more you embrace your character, the more immersive the experience.

Epic Quests and Challenges:

The game isn’t just about sitting around; it’s about doing. Face off in epic battles, solve ancient mysteries, uncover hidden magic, or defend the realm from dark forces. Every interaction could be part of a grand quest.

LARP lets you step into a world of enchantment, danger, and glory, where your decisions shape the story. Whether you’re dueling with dark wizards, navigating political intrigue, or uncovering ancient prophecies, you’ll be part of a living, breathing tale.

What to Bring

Sleeping Bag, Roll Mat, and Blanket

These three will help keep you warm and comfortable at night. A roll mat insulates from the ground, and a blanket adds extra warmth on colder nights.

Spare Clothing

Bring extra clothing in case your costume gets dirty or wet, or if the weather changes unexpectedly. Comfort is key, especially if you're spending long hours outdoors.

Costume

Your costume can be made from plain clothes that suit your character. Focus on simplicity, comfort, and durability—your attire should allow you to stay active and engaged throughout the event. Think practical clothing that reflects your character’s role, rather than elaborate or complicated outfits.

Tent (Plastic Tents Are Fine for IC Camping)

All camping is considered in-character (IC). Plastic tents are perfectly acceptable—just make sure they’re weatherproof and reliable.

Water Bottle/Water Carrier

Stay hydrated with a refillable water bottle or hydration pack.

Sturdy Footwear

Sturdy boots with ankle support are best for walking on uneven terrain and staying comfortable throughout the day. Footwear doesn’t need to be in-character. practicality comes first.

Food and Snacks

Bring non-perishable, easy-to-prepare foods like trail mix, granola bars, or canned meals. Food doesn’t need to be in-character. We are a self catering event

Utensils & Cooking Gear

If cooking, bring lightweight gear like a stove, pot, and utensils.

Personal Hygiene Items

Pack essentials like a toothbrush, soap, hand sanitiser, toilet paper, and wet wipes. Please note: although there are portaloos, there are no showers on site, so plan accordingly.

Torch / Headlight

Essential for safely getting around after dark. A Headlight is especially handy for hands-free use.

Dry Bag or Plastic Bags

Use these to keep your clothing, bedding, and gear dry in wet conditions.

Camp Chair or Blanket

Ideal for resting during downtime or meals. Lightweight and easy to carry options are best.

LARP Gear (Weapons/Props)

Bring approved foam weapons or props suited to your character and the event’s safety rules.

Weather-Appropriate Clothing

Bring layers, warm clothing for evenings, and garments that fit your character while still being practical.

Sunscreen and Bug Repellent

Protect yourself from sunburn and insects.

Get your character ready and set for the event.
While submitting your character sheet ahead of time isn’t required, it’s encouraged. Doing so helps us process everything faster and ensures a smoother experience for you.
