About Herofest
Herofest LARP is a low hit player vs player system that is easy to master
Herofest LARP organise and run larping festival live action role playing weekends. We combine all of the fun of a festival weekend and the rich detail of an established campaign world, with none of the disadvantages of either. The result is an excellent weekend with an in-depth campaign background, allowing characters to immerse themselves into the LARP/LRP experience. The LARP events are aimed at each player becoming a part of an adventuring team called a Faction. Your Faction will have a number of larping missions that will set you in opposition or as allies to the various other LARP Factions on the event. Due to the number and variety of the missions, you may be allied to another Faction in the morning only to find you are fighting that very same Faction in the afternoon. You can join an existing faction as an individual, or as a group, and once you have experienced the events, you may even be able to start your own Faction, if you can gain enough supporters. New players start in The Mercenaries Faction for their introduction.
FOR VETERAN LIVE ROLE PLAYERS AND THOSE WITH LITTLE OR NO LARPING EXPERIENCE.
This is the ideal opportunity for a weekend break in an idyllic location, being entertained and able to take part in a themed event. Ever wondered what Live Action Role-Playing was about and wanted to give it a try? Already a live role player and wanted to show your friends and family what you get up to? Herofest LARP run events for all!
NO PRIOR LARP/LRP EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.
Herofest is a low hit and low LARP/ LRP fantasy system, which is easy to master. Each event is part of an overall campaign where players can shape the future plot but is also a self-contained adventure. No players are advantaged over another, whether this is your first or tenth event. A simple rule book and brief campaign summary, explaining everything you need to know, are available on request. Over the weekend you will become immersed in a detailed background plot whilst the different factions complete a variety of tasks and challenges to achieve their Factions goals. You start out as a mercenary for hire then can join the LARP faction of your choice at recruitment. At the events you will be able to purchase LARP/LRP goods; there will also be a bar and food available. Costumes, accessories, and weapons are available for hire from Herofest LARP if required.
HEROFEST LARP EVENTS ARE EASY TO GET TO AND RUN AT SoMe of THE BEST LARP SITEs IN THE UK.
For our first 15 years, our LARP/LRP Festival events were based at the Candleston Castle Campsite, near Bridgend, South Wales. For 2022/23 we used the established LARP site of Huntley Wood, near Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. For 2024, the May and September events will be at Kibblestone Scout Campsite, and the July event is at Church Stretton Camp & Fish (Oaklands). Our campsites are easily accessible, not far from motorways, and have on-site parking. There are permanent toilets and washing facilities, along with catering facilities and a tavern. Each site has a good variety of terrain including woodland, small hills, clearings and are 100% suitable for LARPing adventures.
Due to a change of circumstances at Huntley Wood they are now not able to maintain our bookings for 2024, so the sites for this year’s events were re-arranged in January, still in the Staffordshire/Shropshire area. Updates are being provided on our Facebook page.
