The owners are constantly making improvements to the venue, and have plans to add more space in the future. I've attended several AoS events here and it's always been a warm and friendly environment to hang out. Long may it continue!

Fantastic hobby space with plenty of tables and terrain. Brilliant customer service, with a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks. A wide selection of board games to play, as well as a section to buy miniatures and paints etc in case your stock at home is running low. Booking a table is easy, and can be found on the website. There is a pretty active discord, which I would also recommend joining. There is plenty going on each week at the club, so do make sure you check table availability in case there is a tournament on that weekend if you do think of popping down and getting a table for a game. I think the club has around 16 tables available, found upstairs and downstairs. An extremely welcoming and friendly crowd get in, and Sam who runs it has done a brilliant job in creating such a warm environment to allow people to hobby all under one roof. There is plenty parking, but you do need to pay ( think your first hour is free), make sure you do this at a machine so bring coins or online via a parking app that is found on the side of the machine (nothing to do with the club). All in all it’s a fantastic spot to meet up with mates and throw some dice 👍

The best TCG place around! Great selection of mtg cards, events multiple times a week, super friendly community. It's always a little nerve wracking going to a new gaming venue as a woman, but this place is really welcoming and comfortable. Sam is the best!

A great asset for tabletop enthusiasts in Tyneside. Good atmosphere, welcoming environment. Great tables for hire, with a vast array of terrain to use. Simple to drive to, usually easy to park and just £2 all day. Well equipped hobby shop. Some decent places to eat and drink around Hoults Yard too.

Brilliant place! Tables are awesome with plenty of great looking terrain pieces. Super friendly staff, great coffee and happy people!! Also has a little selection of paints and other bits and bobs which is convenient! 100% recommend and will be back as much as possible as £5 per player is great value.
