BOARD GAME VENUE, PRESTWICH

Anyone who enjoys a board game (even those who don't know it yet!). Our range of games provides very quick and simple games through to extremely long and complex games - spanning a wide range of themes. Buzzin' Meeples promotes full inclusivity and is a safe environment for everyone!

With parents / a responsible adult over 18: Yes

Without an adult: NO - due to recent incidents (12/11/2023 and around this date), I am sorry but children under 18 will only be admitted with an adult supervising their whole visit.

Please ensure that younger children (under 12) are asked to play age appropriate games only.

I would kindly ask that games are not taken off shelves by children under 12 and parents take full responsibility for their children whilst in Buzzin' Meeples.

Although some games may look child friendly they are not and in many cases would be very expensive or impossible to replace - some games containing highly detailed painted miniatures.

Possibly - It will depend on how busy Buzzin' Meeples is, and how big & calm the dog is.

Generally the policy is that well behaved dogs are allowed in Buzzin' Meeples as long as there is room.

The premises are very small and I will have to make a judgement for the safety of all customers.

There is lots of free parking available close to Buzzin' Meeples!

DO NOT use the Park & Ride Car Park directly opposite the store - this is for Metrolink customers only and you may get fined / clamped.

FREE Car parks: are available on:

Upper Wilton Street (M25 1JE) (please do not double park on Upper Wilton Street - there may be plans to put double yellow lines on this road soon)

Park Street (M25 1JF)

Small car park on Infant Street (M25 1SS) (only a few spaces)

On road parking further down Whittaker Lane (M25 1HB), and around Newtown Street / Bailey Street (M25 1HU).

There are often events across the road in Heaton Park - on event days, please obey temporary signage and restrictions which may apply nearby.

Not in store as there is just not enough space - but I am happy to source games if you are looking for a specific game and I will try and find the best price I can from my sources available - you can then collect in store if you are happy with the price. I am not planning to offer any online for postal sales.

Buzzin' Meeples does not have a Café - there are many great local places to eat and takeaway nearby in Prestwich - so you can spend your time in Buzzin' Meeples enjoying the games and not using up game time to stop to eat!

Hot and cold drinks are available in store from 'The Tuck Shop' with a selection of snacks such as Pringles, Flapjacks, chocolate & biscuits.

PLEASE NOTE: Hot food is not allowed to be consumed in store (I've got to look after those games!) and alcohol can only be consumed on site (by over 18's) with a corkage fee (usually £3 per person) applied. Note: Cold food cannot be consumed in store without permission from the owner.

A very popular question! And the answer is: YES!

We have D&D sessions run by Dungeon Master Tom.

We also have Alien sessions run by Dungeon Master Noon.

If you are interested in D&D for new or experienced players - let me know and I can keep you informed of potential future sessions via whatsapp (07763 135656)

Yes - for customers only, but it is small and may be difficult to access for customers with a disability and unfortunately without baby change facilities. We do not have the space available to be able to improve the size or access to the toilet facilities unfortunately.

Possibly! If there are no other pushchairs or prams in the building we can fit 1 or 2 maximum on the ground floor (ideally book table 2 or 3 as there is more space next to those tables). Please let me know before your visit if you plan to bring a pushchair or pram to ensure I can accommodate your needs.

Yes!

An optional loyalty system is in place to reward your loyalty to Buzzin' Meeples - your visit will be logged in the computerised system each visit, and when you have visited Buzzin' Meeples playing in store on 9 separate occasions (general table bookings or events) you will get every 10th session free (subject to the terms below).

From 1st October 2025 the free visit will be for General Table Booking any day of the week, for 1 free visit of up to 3 hours (for the person who has acquired the benefit).

Please note: the free session expires if not used within a month of acquiring.

No - sorry! Buzzin' Meeples does not have a TV licence which means that you are not allowed to download, watch or stream Live TV in store from ANY service.

Payment is generally taken when you have finished your visit to Buzzin' Meeples - a tab will be created for tables or individuals when you start playing. A deposit is charged to reserve Table 2 as cancellations of the main table cause more impact to the business.

Any type of Credit / Debit card is accepted (including through phone/watch apps) - although American Express is discouraged please, as higher transaction fees are charged for Amex.

PLEASE NOTE: Buzzin' Meeples has gone cashless from 2023 onwards, and I would ask customers to support this local independent business with card payments only. Thank you.

Of course: however, check to ensure that the table you are booking is a suitable size for the game(s) you want to play - for example: you're going to need a bigger table (2, 4 or 6) to play Warhammer, and might need certain sized minimum table size for war games. If unsure, please contact me.
