November 2026
A weekend of Warhammer in a castle.
Leave the mundane world behind for a weekend of rank-and-file carnage on hallowed ground. Staged within the formidable stone walls of a historic castle, we are hosting an immersive Warhammer: The Old World narrative campaign - a three-day saga where your tactical decisions and tabletop triumphs shape the very fate of the land. From the first roll of the dice on Friday evening to the final desperate stand on Sunday, you won't just be playing a game; you’ll be living the history of the keep.During November 2026, we are inviting generals to descend upon a historic castle for a long weekend of tactical grit, immersive storytelling, and camaraderie.Space within the castle walls is strictly limited to ensure a high-quality experience for every general. Whether you lead the noble Knights of Bretonnia, the stoic Dwarfen Mountain Holds, or the marauding Orc and Goblin tribes, your story begins here.
During November 2026, The Old World returns to its rightful home: a castle. While the final scrolls are being written, here is what awaits you within its walls:
A bastion of history: take command within a genuine medieval castle nestled in the English countryside. Just two hours from London, but centuries from reality
A living saga: immerse yourself in a bespoke narrative campaign where every charge, challenge, and tactical retreat weaves into the very fabric of The Old World’s lore
Chambers fit for Lords and Ladies: choose to sleep where history happened in our twin or double bedrooms, or join the vanguard as a day-only attendee for the discerning general
The feast of victory: fuel your war efforts with fully catered breakfasts and dinners served within the castle’s storied walls
The mark of honour: every attendee will receive an exclusive WarCastle 2026 challenge coin - a relic to prove you held the line when the situation was most dire
Fireside strategy: when the dice stop rolling, the camaraderie continues. Enjoy board games, and late-night hobby talk with fellow commanders by the hearth
Generals will be well-provisioned for three nights, with morning rations and evening banquets provided from Friday’s muster until you make your retreat on the Monday.To mark your presence within these hallowed halls, all who answer the call shall receive a custom-struck Challenge Coin of the realm - a token of your deeds in the saga!While our scribes tally the final scrolls, behold the projected costs for the coming war:

Booking a historic castle within reach of London for exclusive use across a full weekend is a significant investment, and we’re right there with you - it’s an expensive hobby retreat. By limiting the event to just 30 players, we’ve prioritised a high-end, immersive experience over a crowded one, ensuring that the atmosphere matches the scale of the venue.Think of this as our "proof of concept". Our goal is to make this first retreat a massive success to show what’s possible when we combine history with wargaming. If the community gets behind this, it opens the door for us to organise future events that maintain this magic while exploring more accessible ways to bring everyone together.
