The Boardrooms Games Night

Hosted social board games night at The Wild Fig Deli, Cricklade

Looking for a sociable, relaxed midweek evening that isn’t a loud pub or a screen?

Boardrooms Games Night is a hosted board game evening designed to help people connect, unwind and have a genuinely good time — whether you’re completely new to modern board games or you already play now and then.

What happens on the night

Our friendly hosts will:

• Welcome you in and help you settle
• Recommend a game that suits your group (or help you join a table if you come solo)
• Teach the rules clearly and quickly (no awkward rulebook-reading)
• Check in as needed, then leave you to enjoy the game

Who it’s for

• Beginners and curious first-timers
• Couples, friends and small groups
• People new to the area or just up for meeting others
• Anyone who wants a calm, inclusive atmosphere

Board gaming is a diverse and welcoming community — and we design the night that way.

Timing

6:00pm–9:00pm
We recommend arriving between 6:00–6:30pm so we can get you playing smoothly.

The venue will continue to stay open to 11pm, so make sure you stick around for the post-game great vibes.

Tickets

• £7.50 when booked in advance
• £12 on the door (subject to availability)

Spaces are limited so the evening stays comfortable and properly hosted.

Food & drink

FAQs / info section (use as “Additional Information”)

How do I get to The Wild Fig Deli, Cricklade?

Find us on Cricklade Highstreet in the pretty Saxon town on the edge of the Cotswolds. We're at 91, High Street, Cricklade, SN6 6DF. If arriving by car, use the High Street Car Park, just off the High Street. Parking on High Street is possible too, but watch out for some restrictions.

Are you cycle friendly?

Yes, we offer a safe space to park your bike

Are you doggy friendly?

Of course. Well behaved dogs are welcome and water bowls provided. Woof!

Do I need to know board games already?
Not at all. We’ll recommend something suitable and teach you quickly.

Can I come on my own?
Yes — you’re very welcome. If you’d like, we’ll introduce you to a table.

How long do games take?
Most games we use are 20–60 minutes, so you can play one longer game or a couple of shorter ones.

Is it competitive?
It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll suggest games that match your vibe (social, relaxed, thinky, cooperative).

What if I arrive late?
You can still join, but arriving by 6:30pm gives you the best hosted experience.

Can I stay after the games have finished?

Why, yes you can. The venue will remain open until 11pm, so make sure you stick around for those post-game vibes!
