Nine Candles

Nine Candles is a live roleplaying game based on the popular tragic horror tabletop game Ten Candles. It will be run over a day and a half during the weekend of 28th-30th March 2025, at Pardshaw Quaker Centre in the northwest Lake District, UK. You will take on the roles of modern-day people who, by fortune or by fate, have made their way to Pardshaw after the sun went out and THEY began to infest the darkness that swept over the world.

This game will have 18 player spaces, and we are planning to re-run it. The refteam is Kes Ward, Thomas “Weasel” Tyler, Mish Liddle, Cameron Alsop and Avery Wright. The refteam can be contacted at the email stonewardstorytelling *at* gmail.com.

Ticket cost for the weekend with catering and a crashmat sleeping space is £50 full price or £20 concession. Concessions will be available for students, people whose primary source of income is state benefits (or who have no/very little income due to ineligibility for such benefits), and Quakers aged 18-35. We will be organising offsite sleeping in the Travelodge in Cockermouth for players who request it, at £60 extra for the weekend.

Note: as of 1st February 2025, we have sold out of concession spots, so the cost for all future signups is £50. Please note on the booking form if you are a concession and we’ll refund you £30 if a spot becomes available.
