The York Wargames Society meets at Guppy’s Enterprise Club, a repurposed Victorian pub on Nunnery Lane, York. Public transport links are great as it’s only a few minutes walk from York mainline rail station, and there’s a large public car park directly opposite. The handy map at the bottom of this page may be of help.
Regular Club games sessions
We meet on a weekly schedule, with each evening dedicated to specific games. All members are welcome to attend these sessions. If you like tabletop gaming we are confident you’ll find something on offer to interest you.
Prospective members are welcome to come along any time.
Every Monday (7pm to 11.30pm, not on Bank Holidays)
Wargames and boardgames in two downstairs rooms and one large upstairs room. There is space for around twelve 6-by-4 foot tables, and there’s a huge range of club-owned terrain, mats and scenery freely available to enhance your games.
Every Tuesday (8.30pm to 11pm)
A second wargaming evening with emphasis on Warhammer 40k. Club-owned terrain, mats and scenery freely available.
Every Thursday (8pm to 11.30pm)
Roleplaying Games in 5 rooms, around 5-7 players in each.
