Games Night & Social 16+
For young people aged 16-30
We play classic board games, strategic and table top role playing games including Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons.
This is a social meet up suggested and led by some of the young people at 'Some Kind of Hack Space'.
The games night is intended to be neurodivergent friendly and open to all young people to meet up and play games.
Find us at The Hornbeam Cafe on Hoe Street, Walthamstow on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 7-9pm.

A few details about the venue in case helpful
-
It is on a busy main road and you can hear the traffic when inside.
-
We will have exclusive use of the ground floor cafe, but occasionally people who work in the building may pop in.
-
There is space for up to 20 people.
-
There is a single toilet with a hand towel and no electric hand dryer. 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 low because a few of the lights are broken!
-
There may be some food smells as it's a cafe but everything is usually cleared away for our sessions.
-
The kitchen appliances make fairly typical humming sounds.
-
The cafe is based in a community run space with strong environmental values. They are working towards a connected, inclusive and sustainable community. You can find our more here.
