Choose your family. Shape the story.
Step through the doors into an adults only fantasy event filled with live entertainment, quests, games, traders, characters, contests and strange encounters.
At the heart of the Gathering is a rivalry between three families competing for the Thorned Crown. Choose your family when booking, then decide how involved you want to be on the day.
You can earn tokens through quests, games and challenges to support your family, or you can ignore the roleplay completely and simply wander, watch, shop, drink and enjoy the chaos.
