What you'll do

Come along to an afternoon of live action role play (larp) inspired by the exhibition Play Well. Join artist Adam James to let loose your inner child or pretend to be a grown-up at Crumbles Castle Playground, as adults and children temporarily swap roles.

Set in the 1980s, this afternoon of games, workshops and role play will have you remembering playmates and silly games, and get you thinking about barriers to play. You don’t need any previous experience of larping to join in. This event is suited to all fitness levels and we will provide refreshments.

This event is open to adults and children aged eight or over, and any children need to be accompanied by an adult. When you book, we will send you an email with important information about the event.
