Games Night & Social for 16-30s

We play classic board games, strategic games, and table top role playing games including Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. 

​​ 

For young people aged 16-30.

Run by Artillery, a local arts organisation, this is a social meet up suggested and led by some of the young people at 'Some Kind of Hack Space'. 

You can bring whatever games you like to play. We have a selection of board games to borrow, and a couple of spare commander decks of Magic the Gathering.

The cafe is not serving at this time so please bring your own soft drinks and snacks.

Please invite your friends and other young people to sign up as well.

These are neurodivergent friendly sessions, but are not exclusively for neurodivergent young people - friends and allies are welcome too.

Myself or one of the Hack Space team will be there in the background to help things run smoothly, but essentially the sessions are led by young people with our support.

If you have any questions or need further information, you can call or whatsapp Laura on 07947 27577 or email hackspace@artillery.org.uk

A few details about the venue

• We sometimes keep the front door locked so only our games night group can come in, so please knock and wave to catch our attention when you arrive.

• We will have exclusive use of the ground floor cafe, but occasionally people who work in the building may pop in.

• The cafe is a community run project with strong environmental values. We should uphold their values and take our waste away with us.

• It is on a busy main road and you can hear the traffic when inside. Sometimes the door rattles when windy.

• There is a single toilet with a hand towel and no electric hand dryer, but the extractor fan comes on when you turn the light on and makes a buzzing sound. The light pull can be found just outside the toilet and has a block of wood painted yellow with a drawing of a lightbulb on it.

• Lighting is from domestic light bulbs and kept low in the entrance and kitchen area, but it is brighter over the tables to be able to see the games clearly.

• There may be some food smells as it's a cafe but everything is usually cleared away.

• The kitchen appliances make fairly typical humming sounds.
