History teacher Paul Ruston has created The Wandering Dice, a board game business, following a successful first event in Ulverston.

Paul Ruston, a secondary school history teacher in Ulverston, has created The Wandering Dice to bring pop-up board games nights to Furness and the Lake District. The business held its first event at The Sun Inn on 20 October, which Ruston described as a 'great' success that was strongly supported by the community.

Ruston said that guests enjoyed discovering new games together and that strangers mixed well. 'It was fantastic to see people who had never met before sitting down together, discovering new board games, sharing laughs and having a great time,' he said. The aim is to encourage people to connect with one another rather than relying on their phones.

Further events are scheduled for November. A games night will be held at Crofters in Barrow on 3 November, followed by an event at the Nook Bar and Kitchen in Staveley on 18 November. Both will run between 6pm and 9pm.
