Boards of Kettering CIC
We exist to celebrate the joy of playing modern board games.
We recognise the value of using board games in education and are developing a programme to improve skills and well-being using board games.
Monthly Board Game Café
Our Board Game CafĂ© night is on the first Friday of the month at Johnny’s Happy Place in Kettering.
NEW for 2025: We are now running a second regular board game cafe night at nearby Geddington’s delightful Cafe Oak.
