The last empty unit at Arnold MarketPlace is now occupied. Dice & Balls is a gaming and entertainment unit that aims to bring people together.
Saphia and Zoe received the keys to the unit on July 18. Since then, they have created a community interest company and space with many board games, circus skills equipment, and local hand-made wooden crafts.Saphia, who is also an entertainer and works for the NHS said: “We haven’t sold a ton of stuff but so many people have come in. We’ve been showing kids how to play certain games, then the parents and it’s bringing people together.
Zoe added: “What’s nice is you’ve got four lads, teenagers sitting around and having fun, there was lots of laughter. We’re both very socially awkward people but here, you can sit with a game, where there’s rules that explain how the interaction will go, it’s something to talk about and everyone gets a turn.”
Zoe added: “We wanted the game shop to be for people who don’t consider themselves as people who would usually go into a game shop. We can’t compete with Amazon but here, we’re providing a place where you can come in and try games out, if you miss a piece to a game, we can get onto the suppliers too.”
