UKLTA runs sci-fi/modern/horror themed LARP. There's the usual mix of role-playing, investigation and puzzle solving but we use outdoor Laser-Tag equipment to simulate ranged combat so you can have tactical gunfights that just work. https://linktr.ee/uklta

It all got last minute but we managed to quickly bash together a promotional leaflet for our 2025 events that'll arrive in time to hand out at #LARPCon. This is why we pushed really hard to get our calendar settled as early as possible: we want people to be able to book at the start of the 'season'.

It's the last week of our early-bird deal for Dropzone 2025 our anthology LARP event. If you've been thinking of attending, but been putting it off now's the time to get it into that shopping cart. ukltalarp.mozellosite.com/store/item/e...

UKLTA's third event of 2025 is The Weyland Factor a weekend of sci-fi #LARP, 3-5th Oct 2025 at The Grange nr. Coventry, £80 early-bird until 3rd July. This concludes the High Frontier: Gods and Monsters set of games. Each one is broadly self-contained; you don't need to have played the others.

UKLTA has been around a long time but we try to maintain modern standards for what's expected from people at #LARP. To that end we've just updated our Rules, Code of Conduct & Inclusivity policies. ukltalarp.mozellosite.com/about-1/gene...

UKLTA's second event of 2025 is "Only in Death does Duty End", a weekend of #Warhammer #40K themed #LARP, 25-27th July at The Grange nr. Coventry, £80 early-bird until 25th April.

UKLTA's first event of 2025 is Dropzone, 23-26 May at The Grange nr. Coventry. Unusually for UK 'outdoor' #LARP this is an anthology event consisting of multiple shorter games. You can dip in and out of them as you wish. Normally we hope those not playing a 'slot' will crew but you don't have to.

UKLTA opened booking for all of our 2025 events on Friday. The response was more immediate than expected and our 40K themed #LARP "Only in Death does Duty End" sold out almost immediately. We'll be posting in more detail about each soon, but here are the basics... ukltalarp.mozellosite.com/events/

The GMs for our Autumn High Frontier event are having a writing weekend in advance of booking opening on the 31st.

We're having a "build weekend" where we try and turn 14 beaten up 30 year old Laser-Tag Pulse Rifles into usable loan kit for our 2025 events. Going well so far with maybe 10 viable shells. They won't be pretty but with modern electronics in should be effective.

We'll have people from UKLTA representing the hobby at #LarpCon 2025. We've got a stall booked and will bring a few leaflets, posters, props and some of our Laser-Tag gear for people to mess around with. Bookings have just opened if you want to come and see us www.iwuwrestling.co.uk/larpcon/p/la...

Unlike a lot of #LARP organisations UKLTA doesn't really have a 'canon setting'. This is a result of it being an umbrella organisation made from local clubs. Guides get written to meet a desire for a specific game. Some last years, others get used once. ukltalarp.mozellosite.com/about-1/sett...

Having been around for decades, UKLTA has a long history of #LARP events. We've added some event history to our website but collating it is quite a task and we keep finding people's personal info in the documents that will need redacting before it goes up. ukltalarp.mozellosite.com/about-1/docu...

Our #LARP events use #LaserTag hardware to do combat resolution. We know that's not something everybody has to hand so any new attendees in 2025 will be loaned something suitable for the character they play. Later this month we are refurbishing several 'Pulse Ranger' weapons like this to loan out.

In September we have the final episode of 'Gods and Monsters' a High Frontier #LARP in our #sci-fi shared universe incorporating elements from movies like #Aliens, #Predator, #BladeRunner, #EventHorizon etc. G&M focuses on 'first contact' vaguely inspired by #Prometheus godsandmonsters.larp.org.uk

In July we are running a #Warhammer40K themed #LARP, Only in Death does Duty End. This will be focused on Imperial Guard characters and Planetary Defence forces during a visit by an Inquisitor and their retinue. Bookings will open in January. Semi-finished website here... od3e.larp.org.uk/p/p1.html

We've now added some photos from Game 5 of our #Cyberpunk #LARP to the website. Normally we suck at capturing photos as we're playing at night but this time we got a few. Bookings for Dropzone 2025 where Game 7 features will open in January. cyberpunk.larp.org.uk/search/label...

The GM team for our #Cyberpunk #LARP "Cyberpunk: A Life on the Edge" have now launched a website with event recaps, setting and system info. Game #7 will occur as part of Dropzone 2025 23-25 May 2025. Booking will open in January 2025. cyberpunk.larp.org.uk

UKLTA is now booked in for LarpCon 2025 where we hope to promote our style of #LARP and our coming events to a few new faces. More info over on their event page. www.facebook.com/events/16973...

In 2025 we are running Warhammer 40K and Aliens/Prometheus themed weekend long events plus our regular 'anthology' May Bank Holiday event Dropzone made up of shorter games. This year Dropzone includes U.N.I.T, Stargate, Cyberpunk and horror themed sections.
