What happens when you mix historical artefacts, collaborative storytelling and a twenty-sided die?
Here at Reading Museum we set out to answer just that! Through a unique Dungeons and Dragons project, we want to explore new ways of engaging with our collections and bringing the museum to life.
What:
Ever wanted to adventure through magical worlds; slinging spells, slaying dragons and searching for legendary treasure...
If so, then you're in luck – on Wednesday 5th August we will be running an Intro to Dungeons and Dragon event for 10-12 year olds.
If you're unfamiliar, Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy role-playing game that lets you embark on adventures with your fellow players, guided by a Dungeon Master who acts as the game's referee and storyteller.
Participants will be given an introduction to the game itself and how to get started, alongside a chance to play though a small encounter and have a try at some role-play.
When:
Wednesday 5th August 2026
12:30pm - 15.00pm (includes a small 20 minute break)
Who:
Ages 10 - 12 (Must be accompanied by an adult)
Bookings:
£4 per child (accompanying adults do not need to book a ticket)
Booking essential due to limited spaces!
If you are booking with other people you would like to play in a group with, please email us, noting down the names of everyone in your group so that you can play together.
This event has been made possible with support from Eclectic Games, Museums Partnership Reading and the University of Reading.
