Kettering Arts Centre has its own licensed bar and there will be delicious food vendors too.
The event is organised by Boards of Kettering CIC, a not-for-profit organisation formed by Dez Dell, Polly Shackleton, Doug Mayer and Gary Keller, who are all avid fans of board games. They host a monthly board games cafe night in Kettering and retail board games in Northampton and Kettering.
