What is Enclave?

Enclave is essentially a LAN Party on a large scale. Hundreds of gamers bring their own PC and/or gaming console, monitor, peripherals etc and then get a table and chair to set up for the weekend. There is also a tabletop gaming space, so you can get those long-form board and tabletop games in with friends, without worrying about closing time.

The gaming never stops, it's a 24H event so you can stay up as late as you want playing your favorite games with friends and people you meet at the event.

It's a social event with many likeminded gamers and a lot of communication will go through Discord - voice and text chats where games can be arranged and information can be shared.

Food and drink are available at the venue all weekend, or there are lots of places to go out and eat nearby.

Where is Enclave 1 being held?

Enclave is being held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.
