Will you join us?
So... it's time. We have ticket and booking details for the larp!
As previously mentioned we wish to give those booked for our fateful Covid-cancelled first run a chance to rebook for this run of the larp. To that end, we will have a 2 week window for them to book, before opening bookings more broadly.
The cost of the larp is €590. We've tried to keep this as low as possible, but the truth is that islands don't come cheap.
We have a very few concessionary tickets at €190. We'd love to offer more, but finances are tight, and so they will only initially be available to those that had them for the first run. Should anyone wish to sponsor another player into a concessionary ticket, please get in touch with us at island@ritesofspring.co.uk
Booking for existing players is live from today, until the 27th April. Places are secured with a €100 deposit due by the same date. If paying the deposit is an issue, please get in touch, as we can make some accommodation to allow for later payment.
On the 29th April we will open the lottery applications for people who were not booked for the first run. These will remain open for two weeks, and on the 13th May we will close applications, and conduct a lottery to allocate our remaining tickets. A €100 euro deposit will be due by the 24th May.
For those of you who were on the first run, you should have received an email with booking details. For the rest of you, the registration link on the Register page of the website will go live on 29th.
We hope to see you on the island.

THE RITES OF SPRING
What is The Rites of Spring?
The Rites of Spring (RoS) is a live action roleplaying game (larp) based on works of English Folk Horror. Participants will take on the roles of the residents and visitors to Spring Island, a place with a long and mysterious history, and each individual will have their own goals to strive for and dark secrets to protect. Drawing on themes of the unknown, insular community and of folklore and ritual, there will be secrets to uncover, island politics to compete over, and ancient traditions to uphold (or break); all sprinkled liberally with a dusting of tension and fear. Each character will spend their days exploring the island and its mysteries, preparing for the coming festival with their island societies and socialising with their "family" groups.. all in preparation for the Rites of Spring.
