Free RPG Day
Updated: 24th June 2026
As is probably quite well publicised at this point, the Official Free RPG Day Kits have been delayed for everyone in the UK.
In the line with many other UK games stores, the Free RPG Day event at Clifton Road Games will proceed as orginally scheduled on Saturday, 27th June 2026.
We’ll likely schedule something else later in the year once the kits become available.

Transport
Cars: The Triangle Car Park is at the end of Clifton Road. In addition, there are 30-minute parking bays just up the road near Newtown Stores convenience shop, as well as 2-hour bays in each of the side roads off of Clifton Road (Clifton Street, Chute Street, Sandford Walk, etc). If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging points in Belmont Road (along the front of Belmont Park), on the left from the end of Clifton Road.
Bus: The nearest bus stop is Lower Summerlands at the junction of Clifton Road and Heavitree Road. The new Exeter Bus Station is only a few yards further away, by St. Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre and the VUE Cinema (walk down past the VUE cinema, across Western Way, between Jury’s Inn and Belmont Chapel to the Triangle Car Park and then turn left past The Clifton Inn).
FOOD & DRINK
Clifton Road Games do not provide or sell food and/or drinks on the premises, but customers are welcome to bring their own.
We generally advise that gamers take specific breaks for food and drinks, rather than snacking throughout. It’s safer for the games components.
Newtown Stores is just up the road (on your left as you exit the shop), The Clifton Inn, and (across the Triangle Car Park) Dee Yi and Exe Coffee Roasters are a short distance (to the right of the shop).
Customer toilets are provided in-store. Note that these are wheelchair accessible.
