Always wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons but didn’t know where to start? Whether you’re completely new, between campaigns, short on time, or just craving a night of heroic chaos, this beginner-friendly One Shot Night is your official invitation into the wonderful, weird world of D&D!
We are an Adventure League, which means all our One-Shots are inter-linked, so if you keep coming back, your character can progress, and you can play new and unique adventures every time!
NEVER PLAYED BEFORE? No worries! We teach as we go. No prior knowledge required. You will be playing with people in the same boat so you can all learn together!
PLAYED BEFORE? Glorious! Bring a pre-made character- we may adjust levels to match the party or create someone new and rise through the Guild ranks with us. (We use the 2024 rules set!)
We do take mini breaks, & the venues serve excellent food & drink for stamina restoration!
We are proudly inclusive and committed to creating a safe, respectful space for everyone. We welcome all genders, identities, sexualities, ethnicities, abilities, backgrounds, & experience levels. There is space for you at our table! *Please note we have zero tolerance for discrimination & hate speech.
WHEN & WHERE? We host... Every 2nd Thursday Evening at Small Bar (And every 4th Sunday Afternoon at Wiper & True too!)
COOL THINGS! All of our players' characters are official adventurers for The Wonky Line Guild, a prestigious in-world organisation that supplies and commissions quests, missions, & heroics!
When you begin your journey, you are but a humble Guild Adventurer Intern. As you level up across sessions, you gain: Recognition within the Guild, Prestige amongst fellow adventurers, Access to more dangerous (and more dramatic) quests while growing reputation in our shared world!
Every One Shot takes place in the same evolving universe. No long campaign commitment required but you still feel a part of the world & watch your character develop!
WHAT'S WITH THE TICKET PRICES? Our Dungeon Masters are paid for their time, creativity, & incredible prep work. Crafting a tantalising One Shot takes skill & care! Anything extra goes back into: Maps, Miniatures, Props & anything else that will enhance the experience!
We believe in supporting creatives and building something truly special for Bristol’s tabletop community!
Any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Let the adventure begin!

We traveled from Dorset for a birthday treat for our daughter, and it was well worth the trip! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was the perfect introduction to D&D, and Adam the DM was brilliant. My daughter said it felt like being in a film. We loved it and will definitely be back!
Very welcoming, & friendly. Plenty of people on hand to help you on arrival. Actually a more accessible venue than expected which was great, wheelchair users could attend this. Very relaxed atmosphere, but can be a bit overwhelming with a lots of talking going on plus background music as well.
Had the BEST time at D&D last night. The DM was an absolute legend, fully committing with all these different accents and making everything hilarious and immersive. The setting was unreal too, like you could properly get lost in it. Also shoutout to the hand-painted dungeon… honestly made the whole thing come to life. The detail was mad and it just added so much to the vibe.
Overall just a lush night, great people, great energy, and I’m 100% going again. Can’t wait for the next one!
SO WHAT HAPPENS ON THE NIGHT? 6PM – Character Creation We’ll help you build your character & talk you through the basics pre-game! Please arrive promptly as this can take some time!
6:30PM ish – Game Time! You’ll be placed in a small group with your own dedicated Dungeon Master & so the adventure begins!
Finish times: • Tables of 3–4 is 21:30 • Tables of 5+ is 22:30
Hosted in top upstairs room!
Wonky lines, wonderful people, wildly good times.
Hello there! We’re The Wonky Line Cult- a Bristol-based creative events collective hosting joyful, low-pressure workshops and weird, wonderful experiences that bring people together through art, play, and community.
We believe creativity should be fun, messy, social, and open to absolutely everyone, no “right way” to draw, paint, sculpt, or express yourself here. Whether you’re a professional doodler or someone who hasn’t picked up a pencil since school, you’re welcome in our wonky world. What makes us special? It’s the combo of chaos + care; each session is lovingly designed to help people connect, loosen up, and enjoy the creative process without pressure. Most of all, we want our spaces to feel playful, inclusive, and kind- a little pocket of joyful rebellion in the middle of your week.
Come join the cult (it’s not a real cult, promise). Bring your weird ideas. Meet brilliant strangers. Make stuff. Be wonky!
