Roleplaying at Marshalswick Library

The Hertfordshire RPG Club is running its tabletop roleplaying evenings at Marshalswick Library in St Albans, with the next session on Thursday 26 November. It's part of a regular run: they've also got Thursday 12 November and Thursday 7 January 2027, all starting at 19:15 and running through to 22:15.

If you've never played a tabletop RPG before, this is a good place to start. The club welcomes newcomers and experienced players alike, and the games are self-contained, meaning you don't need to have played a previous session to jump in. They use different game systems across the nights, so you'll get to see a few different ways of doing things rather than sticking to one rulebook. No previous experience is needed, and you'll be playing alongside people who've been around the table for years as well as others who are just starting out.

Marshalswick Library is on The Ridgeway, right beside Marshalswick Community Centre. It's a Hertfordshire County Council library, so it's more than just a venue for these nights — it's a working library with public borrowing, children's books, computers and study space, alongside independently organised events like this and other community activities. The RPG evenings are one of those independent bookings, so they're a bit of a separate thing from the library's day-to-day running.

Entry is £4 per session. Each one runs from 19:15 to 22:15, so it's a full three-hour block of gaming. With the dates spread across November and into January, you can drop in for one night or come back for a few.
