A welcoming place to explore tabletop games
Our friendly and inclusive Games Masters love building communities of young adventurers trying new hobbies, or taking their love for games to the next level together.
We’re dedicated to creating safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces for young people to explore tabletop gaming:
Experienced and DBS-checked Game Masters with backgrounds in education
A passion for overcoming barriers to inclusion
We create an environment where challenge is fun - whether that’s expressing yourself creatively, figure out some complex game mechanics, or socialising with a new group of people.
Adventurers will play a range of games with a range of people and learn skills they can use to pursue their hobbies further at home.

Rules of the game
No experience with tabletop games necessary - our Game Masters will show adventurers the ropes.
Adventurers do not need to bring their own equipment - though they are welcome to bring a game they want to share, or their own set of dice.
Packed lunches must not include nuts.
Adventurers will use hand tools and plastic glue during miniature-building and painting sessions with appropriate supervision.
Adventurers must ensure they read Moonshine’s Code of Conduct before they attend.
