In-person

The Cymera Games Strand is back in its very own games space for 2025.

Find us in the Highland Room, on the top floor in the building right across from the main entrance, above the Festival Bookshop.

We are open on Saturday and Sunday from 10.00 am until late.

All our sessions are listed below with links to tickets so you can book a spot. Please only pay if you can afford to do so - it is completely fine to take a free ticket.

And the Games Space does not require a ticket to come and say hello and have a look and grab a last minute game slot or just chill out in a safe and friendly space - all welcome and last minute walk ins encouraged! If you have any problems ordering a free ticket for a games event please email us.

The games space is a free, drop in, safe place for folks to play tabletop games of all descriptions.  Some games will be provided by us with experienced and friendly hosts to guide you through them and take you on an adventure. Or feel free to bring your own games, both board and rpg or whatever you fancy and make use of our space - bring some friends or make some there.

We will be asking everyone to use safety tools, at the very minimum the X-card at games played in our space and ask all who join us to familiarise themselves with our code of conduct and other policies to ensure a diverse, accessible and safe space for all.

Please note spaces are capped for everyone’s safety in the Games Space, we will do our best to accommodate you at all times but please be aware of these restrictions.
