Thrudball 2025 Announcement

Want to come to the best Blood Bowl experience money can buy?

Do you want to raise money for charity?

Once again, SquadChaos are running Thrudball, and we’re hoping to see as many of you there as possible on the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd August 2025.

The event is run out of Swindon in the UK - if you don't know, that's really easy to get to from anywhere, being less than two hours drive from London, Cardiff, Southampton and Birmingham. 

Every year, money raised by Thrudball is donated to charity, and in 2024, we managed to raise £19,000. This year, we will be giving money once again to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, as well as MIND, the mental health charity.

We listened to the feedback after last year's event, especially regarding the food, and have decided to increase the cost of the ticket, which is now £75 for a playing ticket and £40 for a food only ticket. Most of this increase is taken up by improved variety and quality of the food. We have taken this incredibly difficult decision to ensure that we raise as much as possible for charity, while not compromising on the quality of the weekend, and we’re proud of what we’re able to include:

• 6 Games of Blood Bowl

• Thrudball Star Players like Thrudsquig, Gymir, Drunken Thrud himself and a Star Player making his re-appearance from beyond the grave!

• Three meals on the Saturday and two on the Sunday

• Free on site camping Friday through to Monday

• Player pack including free gift

• Access to a Bonus Bag of swag

• Access to a Sevens tournament on the Friday night

• Blood Bowl vendors in the hall

• Halfling Bake Sale

• Most Thrudlike competition

• A huge raffle

• The world famous Thrud Auction with painted teams, limited edition miniatures, unique items and so many dice!

Tickets go on sale on the 16th March at 12:00 noon – we have a lot of space, but places do go fast – in the last two years, we have sold out within 48 hours, so be quick!

If you are an international coach, you’ll be pleased to hear that 10 tickets will be released 48 hours early. Any of these that have not been purchased will then be put on general release.

At midday a Google form will go live on the Thrudball.com website for you to fill out with your contact and coach information.

Please do NOT send money for tickets prior to 1200 GMT on Sunday 16th March. Any money received before this time will be returned to the sender(s).

Your place will only be reserved on full payment. If you have not paid, your place will not be safe, so remember to pay as soon as possible as tickets will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis!
