d&D IN A
REAL CAstle
historic, authentic and exclusive.
Our D&D In A Real Castle Event takes place in the 12th century historic castle of Manorbier. There’s no hotel staff, no conference rooms and no other guests.
YMIAT has the entire castle for the whole week, which means you can unwind, relax and lose yourself in the setting.
WELCOME TO MANORBIER
4 NIGHTS OF ADVENTURE
IN A REAL 12TH CENTURY CASTLE
Pickup: Swansea - 10th March 2026
Dropoff: Swansea - 14th March 2026
Manorbier Castle is our flagship location and our focus for these events is on authenticity and luxury throughout. Returning for 2026.
We only host two to three tables of players for these events to ensure that our guests get a premium and historic playing experience and plenty of room and time to enjoy our location and activities, this event is particularly aimed at guests who want a blend of high intensity gameplay, with some chill down time and exciting activities.
No conference rooms or maxing out guest numbers here.
not a hotel, not a spa, not a conference suite
Our events are small, bespoke and above all - authentic. That authenticity stems from and is enhanced by our one of a kind location. A real 12th century castle, it’s inconvenient to get to, drafty and can only fit two to three tables of players… but we wouldn’t swap it for a chain hotel or hostel.

Located just at the foot of the castle drive, Castle Lodge is a beautiful cottage that is less than a minutes walk from the castle and only 5 minutes walk to the beach. The lodge benefits two bedrooms, a large living room and its own garden.
Plus if you have a large party you can book the entire lodge for a discount, contact us to discuss.
