A larp about magic, coming of age, life at school, the friendships that bond us, and the fragility of institutional academic hierarchy. 💫 Bothwell School of Witchcraft is set in the modern day, in the first three days of term at a school for Witchards – those with innate magical powers coursing through their veins The main tone of the game is light-hearted and whimsical, with darker and more emotionally-driven themes designed to occur after dark. 🗓 When: 17-20.07.25 (Early Arrival add-on for 16.07 will be available at a later date) \🏫 Where: Abbotsholme School, Derbyshire, UK 💸 How Much: £395-£525 🎟 On Sale: 24.11.25 at 19:00 UK time, with 3-month & 6-month payment plans available. 🧚 Who For: Over 18s, veteran larpers and newcomers alike, who enjoy or want to try sandbox play, low-plot, high-characterisation, purposely designed Type 1 Fun .🧙 By Whom: Witchards Society The playstyle of the game is British Sandbox, with organiser-guided story that players choose how to interact with, and complement with their own stories and roleplay. The game has no stats or no railroad plot, and focuses on interpersonal relationships, personal character arcs, and collective story-telling. You can write your own character within the game lore, or you can be provided with one that fits in the game story and includes the themes you’re interested in playing. This is not a campaign of linked events. Each run of the game stands alone. Each has its own theme unique to that run, curated by the design team and the players who are cast as one of the three Heads of School. This 7th edition of the game welcomes casting form applications for the playable Triumvirate positions until 11.11.24. There are 4 pricing tiers, all of which include: all meals, your bed in onsite residential accommodation, game play, pre and post game workshops, returnable costume tie. £395 School Dorm Room – Bunk bed rooming, sharing with 3, 5 or 9 others. There are 3 bunk-bed rooms, 20 of these tickets are available: a 4 person room with 2 bunks, a 6 person room with 3 bunks, and a 10 person room with 5 bunks. The beds and rooms, for these and all other rooming, will be allocated according to accessibility needs first, which will be asked in the casting & practical form.
