Due to recent news on our government’s advice about group events around Ireland to be cancelled, GameCraft Foundation and St John’s College have agreed to postpone the upcoming Cork GameCraft. The situation is changing daily and it’s not a decision we have taken lightly but we do not want to put anyone at risk - or make anyone feel uncomfortable about attending or cancelling.
We in GameCraft Foundation will continue to monitor the situation, in the meantime, thank you for your support, and for your understanding in this.
Take care of yourself and those that are close to you.

In the context of the evolving circumstances around Covid-19 virus, Gamecraft 2020 hosted by St John’s Central College has been cancelled. The welfare of students, participants and guests is our primary concern – we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and be assured we will be in communication regarding Gamecraft 2021!
