Live entertainment
It’s Your Role
This troupe of professional actors and improvisers will try to handle their own Drakonym dragons live on stage at 8.45pm. But there’s a twist – one lucky audience member will be cast into the adventuring party live on stage.
Direct from performing Off-West End, as well as having recently performed at World's Lair alongside Oxventure and Dark Dice, It's Your Role will close the event with their signature brand of raucous fantasy adventure.
Please note that It’s Your Role’s evening performance will have limited seating, and seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Standing room will also be available.
Spiritually Elsewhere
Bard and storyteller Spiritually Elsewhere will be regaling adventurers throughout the day, recounting tales from across many kingdoms and lands. Their songs focus on existential and sometimes humorous themes told through the style of a wandering fantasy minstrel.
Game Masters
