Torch of Freedom will be run at the West Retford Hotel in Retford in Nottinghamshire. The hotel is an elegant 18th century manor house set in three acres of lawns and gardens and provides the privacy required to encourage players to be able to dress in character without fear of embarrassment. The hotel possesses a separate dining room and bar area serving a wide range of dishes. Single and double rooms are available with full amenities.

If you can, we would advise that you join the Torch of Freedom Facebook event or mailing list (see the information page) to keep abreast of any information about the game.
As at previous games there will be scheduled breaks in the game on Saturday at lunchtime and evening so that everyone gets a chance to have meals. We will also be providing some light refreshments after the game wrap on the Sunday.
Please DO NOT book rooms direct with the hotel - this just causes confusion. We will make all the reservations on your behalf. If you wish to share a room with another player, you will be able to provide details on the form. If you want to share, but don't have a specific person to share with - we will help you sort that out as well.
