Welcome to the Cambridge Larp Society Website!

Cambridge Larp Society (CLS) is a University of Cambridge society which organises regular Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) events. LARP involves physically playing the part of a character distinct from oneself, in any of a wide variety of settings, ranging from fantasy and sci-fi to the modern day. CLS runs a continuing game over the course of the year, meeting once or twice a week for socialising and adventuring together in a fantasy world. We also run a number of other events, including one-shot larps, discussion groups, costume-making sessions, and socials. Participation is open to everyone, not just members of the university, and we welcome new members at any point in the year. To find out more about LARP, visit our FAQ.

More information about events we run can be found here, and you can contact us here.

You can sign up to the mailing list here, or email the exec if you don't have university access.

Our Current Game

Next year's game is Obscura, a fantasy game of discovery, intrigue and struggle against the odds when science and magic collide.

Announcements

Citadel has finished! CLS is now on a long break until the start of the next academic year in October, when we will start our new game, Obscura.

Our next event is our out-of-character meet and greet on Friday 11th October at 7:15pm at the Unitarian Church Hall, where you can meet us and other new people this year and talk about the upcoming game, or LARPing in general. You can also find us before then at the Cambridge Fresher's Fair.

The first interactive of Obscura is on Friday 18th October at 7pm at the Unitarian Church Hall.

The first linear will be on Grantchester Meadows on Saturday 19th October at 13:00. This linear will be a mixture of problem solving and combat aimed at new players.
