EPIC.LAN is a community LAN party run by a dedicated crew who just love gaming and esports.

We all give our time and their effort to make sure our events are as “epic” as they can be every single time. People get great experience out of it, learning key esports, gaming and event management skills. 

Everyone has their own reasons for volunteering whether that's to gain early experience in a new field, to make friends or simply because they enjoy it as a break from their normal lives. It's important to consider what you want to get out of it before applying and make sure it is right for you. 

The EPIC.LAN crew has 23+ years of experience in putting on events for the UK gaming community. Members of the team have also been involved in a range of other events and tournaments around the UK with many former team members going on to bigger and better things in esports and gaming around the world having used EPIC.LAN to get their introduction in to the industry. 

EPIC.LAN’s expertise covers a huge range of our own offline events as well as services for a number of external clients both online and in venues from Birmingham’s NEC to the Wembley Stadium. See www.epiclanservices.co.uk for services we provide outside of our own events. 

Please note the minimum age for volunteering at the events is 18.
