Events FAQ
What events do you have going on?
We have lots of weekly, biweekly and monthly events at Geek Retreat Chelmsford. You can check out our upcoming events here.
Do your events have an age limit?
Most of our events are all ages. However, some events may be more catered to teens/adults, whilst others may be more suited to children. Please ask a member of staff or contact us at chelmsford.manager@geek-retreat.com for more information.
Can I leave my child/vulnerable person at your event?
We require all under 12’s to be accompanied by an adult, with a preferred ratio of at least one adult per two children. This is to stop large groups of unattended children being left at events.
​
We will not take responsibility for any individuals left in our care. Our staff are not permitted to offer specialised care, supervision, care for their money, food, toilet breaks or contact details of a parent/carer. Please assure that anybody who requires care is supervised by yourself/a guardian/carer for the entire duration of the event.
Can I access a plug point during my visit?
We cannot provide access to electricity during your stay... Mostly because we have very few accessible plug points!
Where can I find specfic information about an event?

Occasionally, structured events (Leagues, etc) may have their own set of Judges. These Judges will be pointed out to you at the beginning of the event and are there to help with game rulings, clarification and generally, everything pertaining to the current event at hand. In the case of a ruling or query at a Judge-sanctioned event, please defer to the signposted Judges.
