At Herofest LARP we welcome children under the age of 16 to come and take part in the various larping activities that have been arranged for them.
The cost of a herofest larp event for a squire is £25.
We do require all squires and their parents to adhere to the rules below.
Herofest Larp Rules for Squires
Each parent is required to attend 1 of the 4 larp squire sections to help to run the various activities.
After 9.30pm at night squires are no longer allowed in the main building.
Squires may not enter the combat area unless it is specifically part of a squire’s larping section.
After 10pm at night all squires are restricted to their own larp camps.
Squires without their own larping weaponsand equipment will be issued everything they need for each session but may not take the weapons outside of these sessions.
All squires must follow the instructions of the parents and staff at each session, failure to do so will result in exclusion from further sessions.
Squires must follow the larp combat rules.
Parents are responsible for all equipment that the squires use during the various larping activities and should ensure they are looked after and returned in good condition.
Squires should, where possible, converse with adults in character. We understand this is a learning process and we do not expect them to be perfect. Many adults have still not mastered this skill!
Squires who own their own weapons are asked not to attack each other or other players in the safe area although sparring is completely acceptable if both sides consent..
Any parent who is bringing children other than their own should follow these rules as if the child in question was their own.
Squires Larping activities are split into 4 sections

All squires will gather at the main building for a meet and greet.
They will then head to the squires base of operations to participate in the various larp activities.
They will be given their plot for the weekend and issued with any equipment they require. We will ensure that squires’ larp plot is linked to the particular weekend so that they can still feel included and discuss with their factions between sessions.
They will then take part in 2-3 mini scenarios.
At the end of the section they will hand in borrowed equipment with the exception of any larp costume they have borrowed from us.
