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.
Ready to join the fun? Follow these simple steps to get set for your first (or next) LARP event. Each section will guide you through what you need to do before you step into the game.
1. Join Our Community
Connect with fellow players.
Get to know your fellow adventurers by joining our online community. Our Discord or Facebook group are great places to ask questions, share ideas, and get excited about the upcoming event. Joining a faction is also a great place to meet new people and get involved.
3. Create Your Character
Bring your character to life.
Once you’ve reviewed the rules, it’s time to create your character. You’ll have 38 points to spend on your character’s skills. The available skills can be found in the rules section, so make sure to check them out before you make your choices. Whether you're building a mighty warrior or a crafty rogue, this is where your adventure begins!
5. Submit Your Character / Downtime Actions (If Available)
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. For downtime actions, these typically close 4 weeks before the event to give us time to process everything. More information in rule book.
