We are a community-focused venue, and safety and consent are at the core of what we do: everyone who enters our venue is subject to our Code of Conduct. Learn more here.
Whether you're just starting your adventures in tabletop gaming, or are a seasoned explorer -- welcome to your new favourite place.

Arcadia’s rooms are decorated to work with your adventures. From the light-speckled Forest to the bottle-filled Apothecary, each room inspires creativity while not distracting from your game or work. Described as “like an eccentric wizard’s house”,  Arcadia was made for you!

Arcadia Games runs a fully-licensed bar and kitchen from its Tavern, with table service evenings and weekends. Come check out our rotating selection of beer from Queer Brewery, our fun themed cocktails and potions (with real in-game benefits!), and our delicious hot food — including our top-selling loaded nachos from £10, freshly-prepared toasties from £8, and Heroes’ Feast from £10 (a scrumptious chicken stew). Vegan and gluten-free options are available. 
Check out our Happy Hour from 5:30 to 6:30, with a two-for-20 offer on all cocktails. And try our famous Wild Magic Surge - a cocktail where you roll for each ingredient.
