NerdCon is a brand new event for anyone keen on nerd culture; combining a traditional residential week with a unique offering of activities such as board gaming, LARPing, table top RPG, cosplay and Con-style seminars. At NerdCon you’ll be able to spend the morning playing your favourite strategy-based board game, go to an archery session, try out crate climbing, have an hour of quiet reading time, do some Star Wars crafts, and round out the day around the bonfire with new friends… all at the castle-esq Gowanbank Centre, to really set the atmosphere!

Our experienced and accredited team is made up of amazing nerds who love Jesus! We couldn’t be more excited about the group who have come together to make this event happen. We are so excited to meet you and nerd out together at this residential made just for you.

Your team leader for this holiday is Cheri Young.
