Catering

Catering is not currently confirmed; all attendees should plan to self-cater.

Accommodation

Camping

All attendees will be able to camp on site in an IC or OC camping area.

A form will go out after ticket sales to plan the IC camp. Please fill this out if you wish to camp IC so we can get a better idea of how to structure the IC space. Those with communal spaces will get priority for the main circle of the camp. Booking is not needed for the OC camp. There will be plenty of room for everyone.

Since this is a sci-fi game, both modern and historical tents are permitted for IC camping. The more sci-fi looking tent you can bring the better!

  • We are encouraging players to set dress their tents, adding banners or scifi props wherever possible.
  • Pop-up gazebos are encouraged as easily constructed communal tents.
  • Some tents are more suitable for specific Planet Origins:
    • Canvas bell tents are very suitable for Sultonia, and somewhat for Earth. They are less suitable elsewhere.
    • Military tents are more suitable for Geostation Kessler.

Dormitory Block

There is extremely limited bunk availability in shared rooms for accessibility needs. This will be in the crew area only. Please email in to inquire.

Caravans and Campervans

Caravans and campervans are welcome. The venue charges £20 per night for these vehicles, which includes a power hookup.

Staying Off-Site

There are multiple hotels a 10 minute drive away in Bedford.
