BOARD games, cake and community are coming together for a good cause.
Triple C Games is hosting a free board game event to support a mental health charity.
The event, taking place at the Newby Bridge Hotel on November 14, will raise funds for Every Life Matters, a charity based in Cumbria that offers suicide prevention training and bereavement support.
A spokesman for Triple C Games said: "We are very proud to have grown up in Cumbria and be based here, so to be able to give back to our community and host an event in such a lovely Lake District location is a dream.
"This charity provides training for people in suicide prevention, and bereavement support for those who have lost loved ones to suicide."
The event will run from 11.30am to 5pm and is open to all, with visitors welcome to drop in at any time.
Entry is free, but donations are encouraged.
A variety of games will be available for all ages and experience levels, including oversized family games and a PitchCar tournament.
There will be a session of Blood on the Clocktower (16+).
Eight board games have also been donated by publisher Hachette, giving attendees the chance to win and take them home.
Triple C Games has described board gaming as a powerful tool for education and social wellbeing, helping people connect, relax, and exercise their minds.
The event is designed to be inclusive and welcoming, with volunteers on hand to teach games and help newcomers get involved.
Space for games from the Triple C Games library will be limited due to raffle donations, so attendees are encouraged to bring their own favourites.
A system will be in place to help solo attendees find groups to play with.
All funds raised from donations, the raffle, and tournament entries will go directly to Every Life Matters.
Organisers have asked attendees to bring cash for donations, the raffle, and tournament entries, as card payments cannot be accepted for these.
The venue was chosen especially because of the bus route connecting Barrow, Ulverston, Kendal and Windermere.
