Elvers and Betters | Cambridgeshire D&D Holiday
12 - 15 September 2025 | From £750pp
Play D&D in a Victorian manor set in the Cambridgeshire fens: a vast expanse of wetland once home to a unique way of life.
At the table you’ll investigate the intrigues of a divided backwater town, oozing with ambitious aristocrats, suspicious solicitors and revolting peasants. Put your dice down and relax at Westward House, with two acres of land, two elegant reception rooms and a splendid games room.
Meals from our private chef, including a fenland picnic, are included in the price. Come by yourself or with friends and join a welcoming community.

The Story
A Gothic Fenland Adventure
Edward Southwell, the recently ennobled Lord of Ouseback, has gone missing and his title has been legally forfeited. Now who will inherit his estate?
Investigating this muddy backwater is not without its challenges. Tension bubbles as wetland is drained, eel worshippers sow superstition, and townsfolk are disappearing. From suspicious locals to revolting peasants and deadly wildlife, you'll have your work cut out.
“I particularly liked how the campaign featured real places, including the local alehouse!”
