About Board Games Clubs
Mad Hatter Board Games operates in Cambridge, UK, so we thought it would be a good idea to list the board game events that you can attend in Cambridge and surrounding area. Some of these events / clubs are "just turn up", others are run from peoples houses so you will need to ask the organisers if it's okay for you to attend. Madhatterboardgames are happy to forward your request to attend a games event, just ask us.
