A popular Stevenage business will be celebrating its first birthday on Saturday, June 17, with a packed schedule of events.
Geek Retreat, run by Kim Stevenson and Dan Sullivan, is a community board-game café in Park Place.
They will be marking the end of a successful first year with a day-long extravaganza on Saturday, which is set to include:
- A Mega Pokémon Kids Club from 10am until 1pm (£5 entry, including a free booster pack)
- Master Builders of Lego from 2pm onwards (free entry)
- Game Showcase with resident storyteller and game master, Kieron, from 5pm until 8.30pm (£10 entry, including a free drink)
Anybody planning to come along is invited to turn up in cosplay costumes for a ten per cent discount on milkshakes, and there will also be competitions and raffles throughout the day to raise money for Garden House Hospice and The Foodshed.
Kim and Dan told The Comet: "Geek Retreat Stevenage is one whole year old!
"We’re really excited to be celebrating a whole year of fun at Geek Retreat Stevenage this coming Saturday, June 17!

"Over the past year Stevenage has welcomed us with open arms and we’ve been able to build some amazing communities in our store for a wide variety of games and hobbies!
"We’ve seen the local community become Pokémon masters, adventurers in Dungeons & Dragons, game show hosts, and most importantly friends over this last year and it has been an absolute joy.
"Don’t miss out! If you haven’t been down yet, we’re not going anywhere! Just getting ready for year two!"
