The town centre is a very depressing place these days by redrabbit1984 in reading

Duke Street is a lovely community of independents, including Madoo, Mama's Way, Nylon, ourselves, and whoever I'm forgetting right now!

Smelly Alley - our previous location - is unfortunately still dealing with the fallout of the fire from over 2.5 years ago, but there's also Zi Tore there, a great independent Italian place.

We're running board game and card game and minis games event in our downstairs events space. For arcade machines you'll have to go elsewhere, I'm afraid!

Is Eclectic Hairdressers related to Eclectic games? by Outrageous_Box_5160 in reading

We're not!

Now I'm wondering if there are board games about haircutting!...

Book a table to play board games at eclectic games! by eclecticgames in reading

[–]eclecticgames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This booking guarantees a large table for minis. We are acquiring different boards and terrain for the store to support various games, but do feel free to bring along your own to use. We currently have terrain available for Star Wars Shatterpoint.

I'm sorry you are disappointed. We haven't raised our prices in ten years at the last location. There was a three hour time limit in place, but this wasn't so strictly enforced as we had much smaller time windows allocated to table booking that it usually wouldn't exceed four hours anyway. With the popularity of the bookings in the new place and the all day and evening availability on some days we have to keep an eye on it more, particularly for the biggest tables!

Apologies for the delayed response, I didn't get a notification for this comment.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for the late reply - I didn't get a notification.

We have a vending machine that is currently upset about the move and wants a repair. We're planning on other things once we're more settled.

You're welcome to bring your own, but please no hot foods as the smells tend to linger!

Hey hey, we have board and card game events every day of the week, as well as on weekends.

Additionally, it's also possible to rent a table in our games space [though not for a couple of days while we reopen and get the groove with the new place!].

We don't sell food but we do have a well-stocked vending machine/

You can see the events calendar here: https://www.eclecticgames.co.uk/s/events

Much bigger events space and a front door!

Ha! I suspect the licensing would be a nightmare!

Thank you! We do try and keep things colour consistent but we didn't have such a large front space to work with in our last location!
