đź©· BOX IS BACK - CALL FOR LARPS OPEN đź–¤

BOX: Northern Larp Festival will return on 14th February 2026, this time in Leeds, and we’re looking for Larps to fill the day!

Submission form: https://forms.gle/ZtSrvJZtopR3AQ4p7

We’re open to Larps for 5, 10, 15 or 30 participants, as long as they can fit neatly into a four hour slot. You could bring a game that’s run before, or something totally brand new. We’re especially keen to programme a wide range of styles and genres ✨

There’s more info on our selection priorities in the form, which is open for submissions until 10pm, 27th July

More on tickets and other logistics to follow. You can read about the practicalities and access notes for our lovely new venue here: https://boxlarpfestival.wixsite.com/boxlarpfest/practical

We're so looking forward to seeing your larps and yourselves - whether again or for the first time!

[BOX and the future - pleads for venue]

So tl;dr, we want to run BOX again.

Unfortunately, our venue is not going to be available as Theatre Deli Sheffield is closing down. So... help?

If you've got any ideas, thoughts, dreams or knowledge, here are our criteria. Let's goooooo!

What do we need from a venue?
* At LEAST 3 spaces for larps (if 3 quite big)
* Either a quiet room or a communal space (both is better)
* Level access
* Toilets
* Accessible by public transport
* In the North of England.
* Near enough to somewhere to obtain sustenance
* Exclusive hire of the venue, or at least a measure of privacy for the larp rooms

Comment, send us messages, or otherwise provide your delicious gems of knowledge.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to BOX - whether you were a player or a larp organiser! The event literally couldn't have happened without you and we've come away filled with energy and excitement for thiis hobby

A question we got a lot last weekend was “Where can I find out about other Larps?” That’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer!

Here are a few of the other projects the BOX team are involved with, all running in and around Yorkshire. If anyone wants to share their own games in the comments then please do!

Erin & Jon run a game about once a month at Treehouse Board Game Cafe, quite literally just down from the road from Theatre Deli. There are still a couple of tickets available for “Arthuriana” - a 3-session game about the spirits of the round table colliding with modern people.

Hazel is on the team for Disruption LRP, a game about ancient magical beings and capitalism. They intend to run their third event later in 2024: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3628027723889895

Char wrote MVEX LRP, a game about big robots and crisis-management, which practically all of us have crewed for over the course of its several runs. There are no events currently planned, but if some come about you’ll hear about them here:
https://www.facebook.com/mvexlrp

Jon is also returning to Theatre Deli in June this year, to run Motorway South, a game about a weird and introspective bus ride, loosely inspired by Disco Elysium. The form for interested players is open until the end of the month.

[BOX is complete]

Thank you so much!

BOX is completed, and the organisers are now firmly ensconced in a quiet corner and relaxing.

We'd like to thank all of our larp organisers and creators, and the players who made it happen.

Coming soon: feedback opportunities! We're unlikely to be looking at messages on the BOX profiles for a week or so, you are welcome to leave something for us there.

BOX is today! It's 8am, and the BOX organisers are either traveling or travelled. We'll see you there. Someone should be able to see and quickly respond to messages on Facebook or Instagram if you send them.

BOX is tomorrow! With printing of door signs underway, the dog fed, and Sheffield ready to accept our glorious little larp festival, things are about ready to go.

Travel Update!

--> This weekend there are going to be train strikes for East Midlands Railway (EMR) which operates out of Sheffield station,. If you're travelling in via train, give National Rail a look and make sure your train is actually running --> https://www.nationalrail.co.uk

--> There is a football match at Bramall Lane on Saturday kicking off at 17:30. As this is close to the venue, this may effect parking earlier in the day and driving back after the event.

--> Speaking of parking, Theatre Deli has a few parking spaces that can be reserved for accessibility purposes. Let us know either in advance or when you get there that you're using them. Beyond that, there is street parking and a multi-storey car park nearby at APCOA New Era Square.

If you're having any problems with travel on the day, do pop us a message and we'll try sort you out.

(Thanks to Josh Ho**er for helping us with some of this intel)

[BOX: one week left]

One more week until BOX!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

If you're attending and you've got any access needs you think we haven't covered or might not know about, please tell us!

[BOX: What do I need to bring?]

You've probably seen this already somewhere, but we want to be super clear.

Bring yourself.

That's it, really. We'd advise clothes/footwear/etc. that you're as comfortable as possible in for the full length of the larps, but there's really nothing else.

You're not in a larp at the point of arrival, everything in the communal area is always offgame.

The single thing you need to be aware of - if you see people around you raising one hand and being quiet, please do the same. Everything else you'll need to know will be covered in your larp.

10am, we'll be starting promptly. You can arrive from 9am, and to be honest we'd advise doing so for some preBOX chatter and opportunity to meet Rambo.

[BOX: Less than 2 weeks to go]

Less than 2 weeks until BOX!

We're excited, we hope you're excited!

There's not much really else to say here except 'Eeeeeeee'.

If you have questions, you know where we are!

[BOX waitlist still open, probable chance to attend]

Missed out on a BOX ticket, or hoping to bring a friend along? We’re just over THREE weeks from the big day, and as “real life” has begun to get in the way of a few people attending, our waiting list is looking very short indeed. Anyone who joins the waitlist in the next day or so is practically guaranteed to be offered a space between now and the end of the month, and will be helping us ensure every game gets a full count of enthusiastic players.

You can join the waitlist by heading to our eventbrite and clicking “Get Tickets” https://www.eventbrite.com/e/box-northern-larp-festival-tickets-693432845307

Or just pop us an email: [email protected]

When a space opens up we’ll be in touch to share which larps currently have spaces, and you’ll have a day or so to send payment over Paypal (or make alternative arrangements.)

You can read about all the practicalities, and the Larps on offer, over on our website: https://boxlarpfestival.wixsite.com/boxlarpfest

If you've signed up to play or run a larp at BOX, there's an email in your inbox!
