Over 24 Hours of D&D with Renowned DMs

More than just a mere game night, this event offers attendees over 24 hours of engaging D&D gameplay in a single campaign over the 4 days of the event. And the cherry on top? The campaigns are guided by some of the world's most skilled and imaginative Dungeon Masters. Their expertise promises intricate storylines, unexpected twists, and an overall unforgettable role-playing journey.

Beyond Gameplay

While the main attraction is the extended D&D sessions, the event offers much more. Attendees can explore side games, participate in thematic events, and acquire exclusive "D&D in a Castle" merchandise. These extras not only serve as a break from the main Campaign but also as tokens to remember the magical time spent at the castle.

This isn't just about the game—it's a holistic vacation experience. From the moment guests arrive, every detail, from gourmet meals inspired by medieval recipes to cozy, thematic accommodations, is meticulously planned and executed. It's luxury and adventure wrapped in one, ensuring participants can immerse in the gameplay without any worldly distractions.

Vibrant Community

One of the event's most cherished aspects is the camaraderie it fosters. Players get to connect with a diverse group of D&D enthusiasts, sharing stories, strategies, and experiences. Whether it's during a game, at meals, or through the various activities, attendees forge bonds and memories that last well beyond the event.
