Getting there: the pub is about 10 minutes walk from the train station. There are several car parks nearby (like Mundesley Road or Vicarage Street) that are free after 6pm.
Accessibility: there are steps to enter the venue, and we plan to game in the first floor space, which can only be accessed via a narrow staircase. The toilets are also located upstairs.
Friday afternoon 30 October 2026
@ White Horse (Cromer), 5-8pm
[joint event with Cromer LGBTQ+ Community]
We will be gaming from 5pm onwards, focusing on shorter games light on rules (so if you arrive later it will be easier to join the next game). Everyone welcome, no experience needed.
Please note there will be music from 8pm, and the pub offers food. Some of us may stay longer to enjoy that (and maybe sneak in an extra game or two).
Cost: Free. Please support the venue as possible, drinks options include soft drinks.
Getting there: It's a 5 minute walk from Cromer train station to the pub. There are paid car park options nearby (such as Meadow Road, £1.75 first hour and free after 6pm, but please check!). The pub has very limited free parking.
Accessibility: there is a step to enter the venue, otherwise we plan to game at ground floor near the entrance. There may not be accessible toilets (to be confirmed).
