2. Chill time
Spending time with each other in our own homes has been off limits for much of the last six months, with the odd garden-based exemption. That doesn’t mean the desire to relax with friends has waned.
Geek Retreat, currently at 16 sites and planning to reach 100 describes itself as ‘a haven created by geeks, for geeks’.
Its experience-led format houses a café and a comfortable, vibrant space for board and console games, graphic novels, tournaments and quizzes. The shops proved as popular as ever once restrictions on non-essential were lifted.
