Gaming at The Outpost returns!

After a long and unsociable 18 months, we’re finally reopening gaming in a limited capacity.

  • If you have any symptoms of covid, please refrain from coming to the shop.
  • Please pre-book via Facebook messages, you will receive a confirmation from the team asap. Let us know the system/game you are wanting to play, we will be happy to have terrain available for you.

    Contact number:
    Number of players:
    Game/system(s):
    Requested start time: (please see below)
  • No more than 4 players to a group due to space constraints.
  • We are asking for a lateral flow test picture (no more than 24 hours old) or proof of double jab via the NHS covid pass app. This is free to download. We are not able to provide tests on site so please be aware of this before coming down.
  • You are not oblidged to wear a mask but we would like to encourage the use of one. This is for the protection of our team, yourself and everyone else.
  • You MUST sign in with your name and phone number at the counter.

  • Gaming will be FREE for the duration of this trial.
  • Space is available for tabletop wargaming (40k, AOS etc) as well as card games and board games.
  • Please be aware that we are still doing some minor work on and off in the shop (even more shelving going up!).
