Getting Your Ticket
Tickets for Menhirs Fate events are booked through menhirsfate.com. Create an account, pick your event and customise your ticket (such as adding optional Thursday camping).
Events typically run from Friday evening to Sunday, with time-in at 6pm on Friday. Many players also enjoy the optional Thursday camping, which gives you a chance to meet and hang out with everyone before time-in and get properly set up in plenty of time.
On the Friday before time-in, there's a full schedule of introductions and sessions covering everything from guild introductions to how Weaving works. Check the schedule page for details, as the programme is updated for every event.
Top tip: Book early. It helps us plan and prepare for the event (things like facilities, layout, and logistics all depend on player numbers). The sooner you book, the better the experience for everyone.
What's on Site
Menhirs Fate events take place outdoors on a well-maintained site. Here's what you can expect:
Food vendors operate on site throughout the event, following strict hygiene standards and able to provide ingredient lists on request. You're also welcome to bring your own food if you prefer.
Medics are available in a dedicated OC (out of character) tent for the duration of the event.
An OC welfare zone is available if you need a break from the game at any point. No questions asked.
There's a hard road around the perimeter of the site, so vehicles can safely travel on and off the field regardless of weather and get as close as possible to your tents. Some areas can get muddy and boggy if the weather turns. The team will treat those areas as best as possible or relocate important pathways and tents to safer ground, but it's worth being prepared for a bit of mud. Wheelchair and mobility scooter access is provided for all OC and playable areas wherever possible.
Camping Options
Most players camp on site for the full weekend, and it's a big part of the experience. Your nation's camp becomes your home for the event: somewhere to rest, socialise, plot and prepare.
Your tent needs to look the part. Menhirs Fate is a closed-world setting, so brightly coloured nylon dome tents and glossy synthetic shelters aren't suitable for the IC (in character) camping areas. Canvas tents are ideal, but modern tents can work if they're thick enough and don't have shiny surfaces. If you're unsure whether your tent fits, email contact@menhirsfate.com with a photo before the event.
Not got a tent? Tent rentals are available for both IC and OC camping through the Woodville website. This is a brilliant option for first-timers. Your tent will be set up before you arrive and taken down after you leave, and you can customise your rental with a range of extra furnishings too. Everything is configurable when you book.
Don't want to camp? That's fine too. Some players stay in local hotels or B&Bs and travel to the site each day. If you're planning to do this, just check in with the site team so they know to expect you coming and going.
OC camping is also available if you'd prefer to camp but don't have an IC-appropriate tent. This area is separate from the game space.
Planning to camp IC?: Reach out to your Nation Support (known IC as a Thread) through your nation's Discord channel. They'll be planning the camp layout and can find a good spot for you. Getting in touch early helps them organise and means you'll have a place waiting when you arrive.
Power & charging: There are no power hookups on site. If you need to charge accessibility aids or medical devices, you can do so at the monster tent upon request. It's best to prepare and bring spare batteries where possible.
Discounts and Referrals
Menhirs Fate runs a referral scheme to help grow the community. If someone buys a ticket using your referral code, you get £10 credit which can be converted into a coupon and applied to your next purchase. It's a great way to save money and bring new people into the game at the same time.
There are also multi-event discounts available. If you book every event for the year, you'll get a decent discount on the total. Check menhirsfate.com for current offers and your referral code when booking.
Accessibility
Menhirs Fate takes accessibility seriously. If you have specific needs, email accessibility@menhirsfate.com after booking your ticket. The team will work with you to make sure you can participate fully and comfortably.
Accessibility aids don't need to look in-character. Wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hearing aids, glasses, and any other equipment you need are always welcome as they are. Non-combatant roles are available for players who are unable or prefer not to fight.
For full details, see the Accessibility page on this wiki.
What Happens Next
Once your ticket is booked, you'll have access to all the practical information you need through the booking system and confirmation emails. Event dates, site directions, arrival times, and any updates will come through there.
In the meantime, there are two things you can do that will make your first event even better: join the community and start packing.
