Eat. Sleep. Roll. Repeat.

Next Halloween, we're running something a little different. A brand new, one-off adventure written just for this weekend, set in the aftermath of Twrch Trwyth's rampage across Llinffern. Those who went missing are starting to come home, but not all of them have come back quite the same.

Join us at the beautiful Norton House estate, nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley just outside Symonds Yat. Centred around a stunning 16th-century country house, with the charming Cider Loft and Apple Store cottages just moments away, the estate blends historic character with modern comfort.

Exposed oak beams and original stonework make it the perfect setting for a spooky weekend of D&D, with comfortable accommodation, thematic shared spaces and an incredible dedicated gaming hall.

  • "The weekend was impeccable, Jamie, Huw and the team were amazing and made it the best weekend for the money. Views, food and game were absolutely amazing!"

    - Burt, Gnome Moon Druid

  • "Probably one of the top ten things I've done in my life. Fantastic."

The Campaign

A spooky, cinematic one-off adventure rooted in Welsh myth, inspired by the Mabinogion.

In the aftermath of Twrch Trwyth's rampage, the missing of Llinffern are coming home.

They know their names and the way back to their own front doors. They remember nothing else.

They don't speak. They don't sleep. They don't blink. At night they stand together in the fields, facing the same direction, as if waiting to be called back. Their skin is cold, and their families swear they can smell damp earth on them.

You've been asked to find out what's wrong.

Gather your party. Something in Llinffern is giving back the dead, and it has to be stopped.

  • "This is how D&D should be done! Good food, excellent hosting, a DM connected with their material and a story set in the very environment you are playing! A smashing time all around!"

    - Harmonia Hex, Fairy Bard

  • "A beautiful escape from reality, which is exactly what we came here to do. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, and our social batteries are completely emptied, which is always a sign of a really good time."

    - Aranwë Lómelindë, Half-elf Twilight Cleric

  • "The food was beyond belief. It was exemplary, better than I expected it to be. And the number of snacks that were forced on us... was exemplary as well. A truly wonderful weekend - high quality throughout"

    - Tu’lok, Dragonborn Fighter

Our lodgings *

 

Nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley, Norton House is a beautiful 16th-century country house surrounded by peaceful countryside. Alongside the charming Cider Loft and Apple Store cottages, the estate offers a private setting where the outside world slips away.

At the heart of the weekend is Norton House itself, where everyone gathers to enjoy incredible meals prepared by your private chef. The beautifully converted Cider Loft becomes your dedicated games hall. With exposed stone walls and centuries-old oak beams, it's a space that feels made for immersive storytelling.

When it's time to rest, the estate's comfortable bedrooms are spread across Norton House and the adjoining cottages, giving everyone their own space to unwind before the next day's adventure.

Surrounded by the breath-taking scenery of the Wye Valley, with the River Wye, Symonds Yat, the Forest of Dean and the historic town of Monmouth all close by, there's plenty to explore if you fancy stretching your legs.

For a D&D retreat, it's hard to imagine a better setting. Historic, atmospheric and dripping with history, Norton House is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable weekend.

Sample Itinerary

Our private chef, Connor, will be with us all weekend. whipping up a storm in the kitchen and keeping adventurers well fed.

Connor brings a wealth of experience as a head and executive chef, having worked alongside some of the UK’s leading restaurants, brands, and culinary talent.

Welcome Dinner

Tavern Bites

These fried golden balls of rice and cheese can be found served up with ale in taverns across Caes Caradoc

Travellers Stew

After a long day on the roads of Llinffern, nothing soothes the soul of the weary traveller more than slow-braised beef bubbling in the tavern cauldron. Served with chunky bread for mopping up

Black Pudding

Inspired by the dark things that lurk in dungeons, this rich chocolate mousse will satisfy even the most discerning dwarf.

Eat it before it eats you.

Lunch

Honey and Garlic Chicken Pasta

A hearty dish designed to fill the belly and warm the soul. A favourite of the Dragonborn of the South who devour it before heading into battle.

Dwarven Flatbread

Hearty, stone-baked bread, perfect for mopping up.

Drow Mushroom Steaks

Where the boundaries between realms grow thin, the most magical mushrooms take root.

Grand Banquet

Tomohawk of Beef

The plains around Caes Caradoc boast some of the finest grazing cattle in the realm. This dish is said to be a favourite of King Llewellyn.

Spatchcock Chicken

Well-seasoned and slow-roasted chicken. This dish is often enjoyed by the cartload by Wrnach the Proud.

Drow Mushroom Steaks

Deep in the dark places, where the boundaries between realms grow thin, the most magical mushrooms take root. A rare Dark Elf delicacy.

Orc Bacon

Slabs of candied bacon. A favourite of the marauders who roam the mountains near Caes Einion.

Vegetable Medley

A feast of vegetables served fresh from the farmlands of Llinffern. Carrots, parsnips, asparagus wrapped in bacon, buttered mash and cauliflower cheese

Please note: This is a sample menu and dishes are subject to change depending on seasonal ingredients and availability. Our private chef will happily accommodate all allergies and food intolerances. Please let us know of any dietary requirements in advance so we can prepare something equally heroic for you.

  • D&D players handbook

    Game system - D&D 5th Edition 2014

    The OG 5th edition is the version our DMs are most comfortable with. This means less time figuring out the rules and more time slaying Goblins. If 5e 2024 is more your jam, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

  • A photo of a DM playing D&d

    Max players - Eight

    Once we hit 8 seats we’ll close bookings. We want each player to get plenty of game time and loads of rolls, anything more than 8 can get a little unmanageable. There’s no minimum number, we’ll play on regardless!

  • Game style

    A big focus on fun, laughter and cinematic moments. We’ll aim to get a nice mix of combat, exploration and some role play into the weekend. We use battle maps projected onto a screen, with lighting, music and badly painted minis!

  • 18+ Only

    There will be graphic descriptions of violence, swearing and potentially some adult themes. 18+ only please.

    We’ll ask you to confirm this on checkout and have the right to refuse entry to anyone who cannot prove they are 18+

 FAQs
