It’s VOIDSPACE LIVE TIME!
As the rest of the nation gently grumbles as it puts away its suncream and gets out its umbrella, we here in the void are brushing off our party hats.
That’s because Voidspace Live 2026, our humongous annual festival of all things immersive, interactive & playable is ONE WEEK AWAY!!
On 6-7 June we’ll be taking over Theatre Deli, London for a whole weekend and filling it with all sorts of playable things, including shows, LARPs, TTRPGs, Junbensha, installations, 1:1 and small group performances, installations, games and even an escape room!
It’s the biggest and most varied programme we have run yet, and we are super excited.
(And what’s more, as if you needed any other incentive, the notorious Voidspace pizza party will be running both nights 🖤)

You can find the full programme here.
And nab your tickets here!

There are a couple of ways to join in this year:
For £65 you can come for the day and do the lot – including the fixed capacity shows, LARPs etc (you register for these in advance – you’ll get a lovely sign up link once you’ve got your ticket).
For £15 you can get a Voidspace Lite ticket, which gives you day long access to everything else around the building, including:
- durational performances including 1:1s and the 48 Hour Endurance Clowns
- Loads of games and mini immersive experiences, including a Tamagotchi Seance, a haunted office and a tiny 80s living room (all three praised by Edge Magazine in its coverage of Strange Play);
- lots of 1:1 and small group experiences
- ambient whole building games including one called by its creator “a capture the flag for immersive theater nerds”
- And loads more!
Plus standby tickets for any shows with capacity on the door.
–
The good news is that are still a few tickets left – we hope you can join us for what promises to be an absolutely bonkers brilliant weekend
Once again for the people at the back:

Your Void in Chief will be there – if you see a short person with curly hair and a big dazed smile, come and say hi. I’d love to meet you.
In the meantime the voices in the walls and I will be returning to the festival mill to finish off voidmin and cut up a LOT of blackout fabric.
See a good chunk of you very, very soon. SQUEE!
The Void loves you! 🖤
