Nat20:27

Step away from the standard convention halls and enter a living world. Nat20:27 is a brand-new outdoor tabletop gaming and fantasy immersion festival. Taking place over four epic days in July 2027, we are bringing together the worlds of TTRPGs, TCGs, wargaming, live music, and festival camping into one massive, unforgettable weekend in the British countryside.

Whether you are looking to play in high-stakes card tournaments, roll dice in a deeply immersive campaign, or party under the stars to incredible live music, your next great adventure starts here.

What to Expect at Nat20:27

The Gaming Arenas

At the heart of the festival site sit our massive gaming tents, built for the entire tabletop community. Whether you're a veteran strategist looking for high-level competitive play, an experienced GM running an epic campaign, or a curious newcomer looking to pick up a new system and find a group, there's a table waiting for you.

From sunrise until the doors close late at night, the arenas feature:

• TTRPG Campaigns & Indie Showcases: Dive into deep, multi-session campaigns or high-level one-shots across D&D, Pathfinder, and the best new indie RPGs. We've got space for established groups running their own stories, alongside open tables perfect for trying out a new system or filling a missing seat in a party.

• The TCG Quarter: The hub for casual pick-up matches, pack openings, tournaments and drafts.

• Wargaming Combat Zones: Deploy your fully painted armies in our dedicated wargaming spaces, clash in narrative weekend-long conflicts, or get hands-on demos with complex miniature systems you've always wanted to try.

• Live Main Stage Shows: Take a break from playing to watch your favourite creators, podcasters, and special guests bring high-stakes storytelling to life live on stage.

• Hobby & Painting Workshops: Access dedicated painting stations and terrain-building workshops. Whether you're a Golden Demon contender dialling in details or just learning how to thin your paints.

The Fantasy Village

Need a break from the gaming tables? Step into our Fantasy Village, the immersive heart of the entire festival. Built with detailed thematic decor and populated by roaming interactive NPCs, this is a living world where your tabletop stories spill out into reality.

• The Tavern: The ultimate social hub of the festival. Grab a horn of mead, take a seat in our eating areas, and soak up the legendary atmosphere. The tavern features its own dedicated space hosting traditional bard music, acoustic performers, and small live acts throughout the day and night.

• The Blacksmiths & Artisans: Experience the sights and sounds of a living medieval economy. Watch master blacksmiths work the forge, hammering out custom ironwork right on the village floor alongside live crafting demonstrations.

• The Merchants' Market: Browse a sprawling marketplace packed with premium vendors and specialised merchants. Discover hand-forged dice, bespoke leatherwork, fantasy artwork, tailored cosplay gear, and unique tabletop accessories.

Day-to-Night Entertainment

The energy keeps going well after the sun goes down, offering a seamless transition from daytime strategy to night-time festival vibes. While the daylight hours are focused on deep gaming, tournaments, and side-quests, our music and entertainment spaces take centre stage as the evening approaches.

• The Main Stage: The focal point of our evening entertainment. This outdoor stage features a curated lineup of incredible live bands alongside epic, high-stakes live Dungeons & Dragons shows. It is the ultimate place to gather with the wider community once the day's campaigns are done.

• The Late-Night DJ Tent: For the night owls who aren't ready to hit their sleeping bags, our DJ tent transforms into a high-energy space featuring late-night DJs. Expect a massive crossover of gaming culture, heavy beats, and full festival energy running late into the night.

The Vibe: Come As You Are

Nat20: Fest is a celebration of the entire tabletop and fantasy community. Because we bridge the gap between LARP, cosplay, card gaming, and wargaming, you will see a unique mix of styles across the field:

• Full Immersion Welcome: Cosplay and LARP gear are highly encouraged all weekend long! Want to live out your days as an elven ranger or a wizard in full robes? This is your safe haven.

• Immersive Roleplay & LARP Events: LARP demonstrations and events will be taking place across the weekend

• Casual Comfort: Prefer to rock your favourite band tee, club hoodie, or just comfortable camping gear while you crush a tournament? You'll be in great company. There is absolutely no dress code-just come ready to play.
