Ilydan LARP, April 2026 - Between a Rock and a Hard Place

A full weekend fantasy LARP event on the Isle of Ilydan. Adventure, roleplaying, stories and more...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
With the formalities of the Sylvan Moot concluded, the adventurers have elected to commit their assistance to the denizens of the Deep Commune, though their Ice Commune allies have not been forgotten. Having mustered their supplies, the adventurers now brave the treacherous journey underground into Ilydan's depths. Here, they will meet the alien flora and fauna that inhabit the subterranean passages, and come to know the stories and dreams of the Deep Sylvan. Their task: to find a way to combat the mysterious monster unleashed at the Fae wedding last year. A dangerous mission in unknown territory...

Welcome to Ilydan LARP
Join us for for a full weekend of LARP adventure at Goblin Combe Lodge in North Somerset, Friday 10th April to Sunday 12th April. Site will open at 2pm on Friday, with time in for the game starting around 7pm. The game will run all the way through until lunchtime on Sunday, so there's plenty of time for roleplaying and adventure. Ilydan LARP is a small, friendly, adventure focussed fantasy LARP which puts you at the heart of the action. This is our seventh event and we look forward to welcoming players and crew to a full weekend of roleplaying and adventure.

If you're curious to start LARP but have never tried, we are a small, inclusive system which is experienced in involving new people. We also welcome people as crew members, an excellent way to get a feel for the system and cost effective as the only thing you'll pay for is bunkhouse accommodation - the LARP kit and costume will be provided from our club supply.

Never tried Ilydan LARP before and want to know what's special about it? We are a full adventuring system with in game character development, a deep crafting, trading and economic system and a whole world of lore to discover. Our system is simple to pick up but has depth over the long term and designed by LARPers with decades of experience. As a smaller system, with around 25 to 30 players and around 10 to 15 crew, you can participate as much as you want and there is never a dull moment. Our regular players and crew are always willing to involve new people and make sure you get the most out of roleplaying on the Island of Ilydan. There is some bunkhouse style accommodation available, and also a small kitchen on site to help crew and players with their catering.

Tickets are available at multiple levels, including a choice of bunkhouse accommodation or camping, attending as a player or crew member, and a reduction on all tickets for youths / full time students.
