CHATTY CAFE WITH GAMES
In association with The Chatty Cafe Scheme, our weekly event encourages anyone to come along to the cafe and enjoy a chat with others, and play a board game or two if they wish!
GET GAMING & CHATTING WITH OTHERS
If you're looking to find somewhere to spend some time socialising with others, while enjoying playing a board game or two, then our Chatty Cafe with Games event is for you! Launching on 9th October 2024, the weekly event will take place at Outside The Box board games cafe betwen 12pm and 3pm.
The team at Outside The Box and a friendly volunteer table host will welcome you to one of our Chatter & Natter tables so that you can either have quick catch-up over a drink, playing a game (or two!), or spend an hour of good conversation, maybe whilst enjoying a slice of cake to treat yourself!
There's no need to book, but as a small venue, we are limited on spaces. Please get in touch if you want to find out more.
Here at Outside The Box, we believe playing board games is a great ice breaker and has so many benefits including socialising, escapism, reducing stress and cutting back on screen time.
