The booking form with payment and contact details can be found on the Booking page

We have used a site in South Wales in the past, then Huntley Wood near Stoke, which we are returning to after it’s resurrection in the ritual circle!

We usually get access to the site from Thursday afternoon. Our main event live roleplaying actvities run from Friday afternoon to end of play Saturday night. We aim to leave the site around lunchtime on the Sunday.

Browse through our website for info about the Herofest system, and feel free to ask any questions via our social media, however this is a very welcoming and simple system to join. Don’t worry too much about fine details, it is often best to have an open mind and learn how things work for you on your first event. To support this, new players should start in the Mercenaries faction, which will support your introduction, teach the basic skills and guide you around the existing factions which you may wish to join (or be wary of!) on later events.

Costume can be as simple or imaginative as you like, but any modern clothes as a base layer should be plain, avoiding logos.

Any weapons and accessories should be LARP-safe, which can be found online or at LARP kit fairs. Please contact us if you would like to hire a weapon (for £10, to cover required maintenance).

There is a guide on what to bring to an event here

The is one main building called the Waystation which provides a central in-character gathering place, the In Character support team, and the bar. Nearby are good quality toilet & shower blocks, including disabled facilities. There are outside sinks for dishwashing. There are also some water points around the camping fields. We hire outside caterers, situated and catering tickets for the weekend can be purchased on the Bookings page.

The large car park is close to the camping field and both are a very short walk to the  main in-character area.

Please see below for a map of the main areas and routes around the central area of the site.

We would like everyone to check in at the Waystation on arrival, to ensure we know who is on site and provide any initial info. We are keeping the central field as an in-character environment to provide a good level of immersion for players. In-character tents/awnings are welcome there. Out-of-character tents can be set up in the field next to the car park entrance, out of sight of the main game activity but still near the in-character area. You are welcome to drive around the main roads on site to set up, but please ensure all cars are left in the main car park by 4pm, before ‘time in’ on Friday afternoon (again to not spoil immersion for players around the various site paths).

No vehicles or heavy trolleys/trailers should ever enter the grassed area, they should be unloaded from the roads/car parks (which are very close to camping and character areas).

Note: For events this year we will not be using the Wyldwood area. All camping and Catering will be in the central Greenvale area.

At Huntley Wood, a number of large fire bowls are provided free of charge. You are welcome to bring you own wood. Trees onsite should not be cut for wood. Any cooking should be done off the floor. In dry weather, slabs should be placed under firepits. No ashes or unused wood should be deposited in the woods on site, an ash bin is provided. The fire pits are a great feature at Herofest, but please ensure they are always monitored and used responsibly.
