Shenanigans

Kids Party (19:00 – 23:00 Friday)
Fancy an alternative to drinking in York on a Friday night? Come join at the training venue for a more sedate affair. Board games, old school video games, chit-chat and yes, after many years of promising and not delivering, bouncy castle(s)! (Our venue has a strict no alcohol policy so we’re rolling hard on the kids party theme!)


Space Hopper Jousting (13:30 – 14:00 Saturday and Sunday)
Why sit quietly and politely and have your lunch, when you could sit, have lunch, and watch and/or partake in some hideously disorganised and entirely impolite space-hopper jousting? We provide your noble steeds, boxing gloves on sticks, foam boffers and other props. Nothing is planned, everything is off the cuff. Points will be awarded based on an entirely arbitrary and subjective system. There is a trophy up for grabs. Come and join us in the training room for the best jousting tournament over Easter weekend (deal with it Royal Armouries).


Easter Bonnet Parade (13:10 Sunday)
Every year you tell us how much you enjoy sitting and sticking stuff with glue and colouring in when you need to de-stress for a few minutes, and this has (like everything we do) taken on a mind of its own. 2026 will see our first “Easter Bonnet Parade”. Spent some time over the weekend chatting and making a fancy hat with the provided bits and pieces? Come and bring it and be judged by an expert. There is a fancy ribbon up for grabs!


Pizza & Riddles (20:00 Saturday)
Shenanigans will take place at 47 Micklegate, York, GB YO1 6LJ (about a 15 minute walk from our venue). We’ve decided to forego the usual pub quiz for 2025 and set something a wee bit more inclusive. You can either spend the night drinking, chatting and eating pizza, or you can enter the riddle hunt. Participants will be given a sheet with a series of delightfully cryptic riddles that they must solve. To solve the riddles you must speak to the instructors…
