Regents Park Rounders and Social/Board Games

Sun, Apr 12 · 2:00 PM BST

Chester Road, London, GB

Come join us for some fun in the park

This is a weekly social park gathering with optional sports and board / social games.

2pm Rounders
3:30pm Social/Board games in the park- please sign up separately HERE.

How to play rounders
Not played rounders before? It's a traditional English sport for everyone, even the unsporty. Here's a video of us playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k

Rounders is a bat and ball game similar to baseball played by two teams. Your team will be either fielding or batting before swapping after the innings. When batting, the aim is to hit the ball, then try and run around the four posts. Your team gets a rounder if you make it round the four posts without stopping or getting out. You are out if when you hit the ball someone catches the ball before it reaches the ground or someone stumps a post before you get there.

The rules will be explained at the beginning of each meetup with a practice round at the beginning. We play a slightly modified version of the official rules where if you are out, it's not game over for you. Your team will lose a life instead. This will give everyone multiple opportunities to bat.

It's very simple to pick up and the ball we use is very soft. We are very beginner friendly and the focus is on having fun rather than being competitive. We attract attendees of all ages and sporting level. You are welcome to come and watch only too. We usually have a few people who do so while having a picnic and enjoying the park.

Come and meet us
Meet at 2pm in Regents Park. Here is the map of where we will be playing in the park (Cumberland Green):

Journey to the End of the Night (urban chase game)

Sat, Apr 18 · 4:00 PM BST

Jubilee Gardens, Belvedere Road, London, GB

SocialSportsMix have teamed up with London Journey for this creative urban game!

NOTE: You must pre-register at https://londonjourney.org/ to actually play!

FYI, there are 97 players registered to play on the main site!! (correct as of: 02/04/26)

Journey is a free volunteer-run interactive urban chase game in which hundreds of players traverse the city, completing challenges at checkpoints, guided by checkpoint agents from fairytales, while evading chasers. Get caught and become a chaser yourself, or make it to the end of the night without getting caught to win!

# ✨ Welcome to Fairy Academy ✨

Tonight, your magic awakens.

You have been chosen as a Fairy Trainee — a spark-bearer, glowing with wild, untamed fairy dust.

You’ve felt it already: the air crackling when you run, laughter spilling out around you, the shimmer just under your skin.
But listen carefully. You are not a fairy yet...

Raw fairy dust is volatile. It flares bright… and then it burns out. To claim your wings, you must survive the Five Trials of Fairy Academy. Each test will sharpen your magic. Each checkpoint will push you closer to transformation. Pass all five, and you will rise crowned with your Fairy Title, your power steady and eternal.
But the night is not empty.

Lurking in the dark are the Dropouts — former trainees who lost their light. They no longer create magic of their own. Now they hunt it.
If they catch you, they will siphon your fairy dust to feed their fading glow. Lose your spark… and you join them.

Run bright. Guard your glow.

Graduate, or be consumed!

————————————————————————

- WHERE/WHEN
The course, which begins at Jubilee Gardens will be approximately 9km and may take 2 to 4 hours to complete (accounting for interference). Check-in will be from 4:00-4:30pm and the game will begin at 5pm. Do your best to be on time.

- How do I play?
Register here: https://londonjourney.org
Full rules of gameplay will be presented there.

- Where has it been played?
The game has been played in cities all over the world (see https://ichaseyou.com), including in London in 2007-2009 and 2024-25. Join us for 2026!

- Why is the game free, is there a catch?
We organise Journey to the End of the Night because we are passionate about helping Londoners to get out of their comfort zones, explore the city, get creative and immerse themselves in imagination. We love doing it and spend several months preparing the game. It is important to us to be able to keep it free to players so that it is accessible to anyone. That said, we do incur costs for the game materials, maps, ribbons, etc (typically a few hundred pounds) so if you're able to support us with a donation of £5 it really helps! https://buymeacoffee.com/londonjourney
