Covid Testing
As per our Covid Policy, we ask all participants to take a Covid test on the day of arrival to the event. If you are travelling from abroad prior to the day of arrival we recommend that you take a test before you set out. If your test is positive, whether you are symptomatic or not, we ask that you do not attend the site.
Arrival Onsite
When you arrive on site, unless you are playing the first run, the larp will be in progress, because of that, could you call us when you arrive on <Number removed from website> and we will come and fetch you. If you can’t get through, or if you arrive late for some reason, please come to the side entrance to the Villa. This is on the left hand side of the house as you are looking at it. Please do not walk into the front entrance.
Ghost Stories
Famously, Lord Byron issued a challenge to his guests at the villa to come up with a ghost story. If you decide you want to spend some time thinking about this in advance of the larp you are more than welcome to do so.
Other updates
The newest version of the participant compendium can be found here: [link removed from website]. It has been updated with all information from this letter, so all information is gathered in a single place.
Important change notes
- Updated the wording of larps beginning in the canto structure and schedule to clarify our intention “poet characters do not need to be fully in costume at the start” rather than “poet characters have to start the larp undressed”.
- Added links to the servant characters, a section about the location, an FAQ, the travel guide and dinner recommendations.
If you have questions for us, the best way to reach us is via email, by posting in the facebook group, or directly via messenger on our Facebook page.
We are excited about welcoming you very soon!
With fondest regards,
Avalon larp studio and the rest of the Gothic team
