Dungeons and Dragons at Bustler Nottingham

Grab a bite, roll some dice! Discover the world's greatest roleplaying game at our ultimate beginner-friendly D&D intro afternoon.
About this Event

Ever wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons but didn’t know where to start?

Forget massive rulebooks, complicated math, and gamer intimidation. If you’ve watched Stranger Things, played Baldur's Gate, or just want to try a completely unique, social Sunday afternoon activity, this is your perfect entry point!

Join us at Bustler Food & Drink Market on Sunday, 2nd August for a zero-pressure, high-fun introduction to the world's most famous tabletop roleplaying game.

Why This Event is 100% Beginner-Friendly:

• Zero Homework Required: You don’t need to know a single rule before you show up. Our expert Dungeon Masters will teach you everything you need to know in less than 15 minutes right at the table.
• We Provide Everything: Ready-to-play hero characters, dice, pencils, and tracking sheets are all waiting for you. Just bring your imagination!
• Casual & Social: This isn't a quiet, dusty comic book shop. We are taking over a space at Bustler, meaning you can pair your fantasy adventure with Nottingham's best street food, craft beers, cocktails, or sodas.

Your First Quest

You and your fellow tablemates will team up as a band of fresh-faced adventurers. Together, you’ll explore a short, action-packed story filled with mystery, legendary monsters, and choices where you decide what happens next. Will you kick down the door, look for a hidden trap, or try to talk your way out of trouble? The dice will decide!
