Sandpit #6: Sandpit at the Lighthouse August 21, 2008

For Sandpit #6 we’ll be venturing out of London for the first time, and heading to Brighton on the evening of Thursday 21 August. We’ll be at the Lighthouse on 28 Kensington Street, BN1 4AJ. Doors (and bar) open at six, scheduled games begin at seven.

It’s a busy programme, including Festival favourites Checkpoint and the Lost Sport of Olympia, as well as new games Tourist Trap and City Blocks, plus more - full details below.

There’s no need to book places on individual games in advance, but you’ll be able to put your name down for any you’re really keen on once you arrive.

Games -

Lost Sport of Olympia
Create a maze with human walls, and then try to escape.
