The Dice Box in Nottingham will host an introductory Kids’ D&D session for ages 8–12 on 18 August 2026 at 11:00. The session costs £11.55 and requires no prior experience.
Jump into the world of D&D with fun adventures made just for kids—no experience needed!
Kids’ D&D
Maybe you’re rescuing a wild animal; finding treasure in a deep, dark dungeon; or battling wandering monsters… get ready to go on an adventure with new friends; tell stories, meet curious creatures and save the day!
You might be a sword-swinging fighter; a masterful, magical mage; or a brilliant bard. You’ll bring your character to life and – with 2-4 other players – become the heroes of your story.
If you’ve played before or have never played at all, you are welcome; you’ll learn how to play as you go. The story will unfold at the table and fun is the name of the game.

Information for Parents
Our D&D Sessions
Join your child for a game of Dungeons and Dragons; collaborative, creative storytelling hosted by our DM Tom. D&D is a narrative table-top role-playing game (TTRPG) where fantasy characters go on adventures together.
These sessions are set up for young people aged 8-15 with stories and rulesets tailored to the experience of the group. Groups will have no more than 5 players to make sure everyone gets to share their voice and contribute to the game. Your child will be in the driving seat when it comes to play; you’ll be at the table with them, though, sharing in the excitement as it unfolds (although parent accompaniment isn't necessary for the 12-15 year old group.)
Everything needed to play will be provided on the day; all you need to do is book your ticket and turn up 10-15 minutes before the session time.
About Our DM
Tom is a creative, experienced Dungeon Master, storyteller, and parent of two kids. He runs regular role-playing games in-person and online for people of all ages and experiences, offering both beginner-friendly sessions and deep, high-level play.
Sessions
The sessions will be set up for a younger group and an older group: ideally 8-12 and 12-15. Five players is the absolute maximum for a two-hour session, to prioritise momentum and ‘talk time’ for the group.
Session duration: 2 hours
Session 1 (8 - 12 year olds): 12 PM- 2PM
Session 2 (12 - 15 year olds): 3PM - 5PM
