Hosted in our workshop, it brings together some of our most valued collaborators—artisans, creators, and leaders in the immersive leisure market—to showcase their unique skills, creations, and expertise. Attendees can explore a wide array of activities, including archery, sword-fighting workshops, and crafting demonstrations, while discovering exclusive products and projects.
