About

• Costume - what your character would wear on their vacation to the spa. Note: There will be some LIMITED outdoor encounters.

• Any personal props or accessories you want to bring

• A notebook and pencil if you want to keep track of any observations or events

• A tankard or similar for IC drinking if you have one

• Cloak or other outerwear to keep warm and dryish outdoors (if you want to go out)

• Sturdy outdoor shoes with a good grip e.g. walking boots

• INDOOR ONLY shoes, slippers (or be prepared to be shoeless).  We don't want lots of slippy mud/water coming into the living areas, so we ask that you have separate shoes for going out into the grounds. Remember LARP costumes start at the ankle upwards. ;)

• Personal toiletries, towels, underwear, socks, etc.

• Personal medications

• Sleepwear for out-of-character dormitories

• Casual wear for travel 

• Any LARP-safe weapons are CEREMONIAL ONLY; this is a no-combat event.

• Note that bedding is provided (duvet & pillow) by the venue!

Tickets included accommodation in onsite bunk rooms, with bedding provided.

Please see here for the venue's access information.

Important: Due to the historic nature of the building, the sleeping areas are only accessible via old, uneven staircases. Please contact us to discuss.

The majority of in-character activities took place in the main ground floor areas, however, some encounters took place outside or up/downstairs.

There are toilets on the ground floor, but these are accessed from outside of the building. There are more toilets in the accommodation areas upstairs.

Due to the 17th century nature of the building, stairs and floors are uneven in places. Participants were asked to bring separate indoor/outdoor footwear to minimise the risk.

Please contact the team if you have any specific access needs for our events, or want to discuss any details around access.

Bunk rooms were strictly Out of Character areas at all time, so could be used by participants needing downtime without any threat of IC encounters.

What kind of event is it?

The Last Resort is a low/no combat, rules lite, drama/content heavy weekend of mystery, puzzles, roleplay, and intrigue. 

Attend as your existing LARP character or try something new. 

What kind of event isn't it?

The Last Resort is not an actual spa retreat. Sorry.
