Story

On Saturday, 28th February 2026 from 11am, we’re taking over the Student Union Building at Edge Hill University for our annual event, run entirely by students. This event features videogame tournaments, including Mario Kart and Street Fighter 6, alongside Board and Card Games (including a TCG area), Poker Tournament, Social Deduction Games, and a Craft Corner. Explore a marketplace of homemade and locally produced merchandise, all crafted and sold by local vendors and student creators. Enjoy live music and a meal, connecting with other likeminded individuals, and support three fantastic charities: Special Effect (Reg. Charity No: 1121004), Mermaids (Reg. Charity No: 1160575) and Action for Children (Reg. Charity No: 1097940). The day concludes with a prize raffle, followed by a nerdy Pub Quiz afterparty.
