Boards of Kettering CIC
We exist to celebrate the joy of playing modern board games.
We recognise the value of using board games in education and run programmes to improve skills and well-being using board games.
Monthly Board Game Café
Our Board Game CafĂ© night is on the first Friday of the month at Johnny’s Happy Place in Kettering.
NEW for 2025: We are now running a second regular board game cafe night at nearby Geddington’s delightful Cafe Oak.
