Event Information

**Day/short events**

These events take place over the course of a day usually starting around 10am and finishing about 6pm. They usually cover 1 or 2 adventures over the course of the day and the teams are split into two groups for these adventures. We stop for lunch around 2pm where we can get something to eat as well as role-play. There is usually a tuck shop available during lunchtimes at day events.

**What We Provide**

These events are shorter than most so we make sure that essential needs are met. Each site we use has running water, toilets and shops nearby. We have a basic set up to arrange IC and OOC issues and details which starts at 10am and lasts until 11am when we then begin the adventure. Water will be given out just before the adventure begins. At the end of the day if your character has played, you will be given EXP for the day.

**What You Will Need**

You will need to bring your character equipment, food for lunch and your character sheet from previous events. If you are a new character then you will get a copy of your character sheet sent to you via facebook.

**Weekend Events**

Weekend events take place from 6pm Friday and finish around 3pm Sunday. The gates will be open Friday morning for people to set up during the day and game play should start around 7pm after dinner has been served. The game continues until the Sunday consisting of multiple adventures and encounters as well as camp activities.

**What we provide**

The site varies but will always have fresh running water, showers and toilets. There will be plenty of room for tents of all sizes. We will provide six meals over the course of the weekend. These will be: Friday - dinner, Saturday - breakfast, lunch and dinner, Sunday - breakfast and lunch. At the end of the event if your character has played, you will be given EXP. Only one character can be played during the event.

**NOTE:** If you have any dietary requirements please let a ref know before the event as we cannot guarantee we can meet them on the day.

**What you will need**

You will need to bring all of your character equipment as well as camping equipment and any of your own food that you wish for the weekend. You will need a tent, sleeping bag, ground mat/bed, eating utensils, cup, plate or bowl and it’s recommended that you bring spare clothes to keep warm and dry on wet days.

**Squires**

Family is very important to us at Age of Essence and we understand how difficult it can be to LARP with young children at times. Squires get their own plot that ties in closely with the rest of the game allowing the children and adults to work together to solve problems even though sometimes on separate quests. We work to give the children challenging but fun quests including puzzles, problem solving and teamwork tasks allowing them to make their own decisions to influence the story. We believe that LARP is a great game to help children with communication and social skills as well as encouraging them to use their imaginations.

PLEASE NOTE: If you bring children to one of our LARP events you are required to supervise the children at all times unless told otherwise. We try to have at least 2 in camp activities each event where you can leave your child with members of the ref team and go on an adventure of your own. These will be at set times and after the activity you will have to pick your child/ children up from the refs.
