Board game enthusiasts will soon be able to play their favourite games - and discover new ones - at Leicester's first ever board game coffee bar.

Quest is due to open in Belvoir Street at the end of September, and will be spread over two floors.

The lower ground floor will be the main area for gaming, with a massive library of board games, including classic and new games, with plenty of choice for both beginners and experienced players.

There will be lots of tables - including a comfy cushioned floor area with low tables - plus console gaming and a secret room for role-playing games, such as the popular Dungeons and Dragons.

The lower ground floor will feature a café, focusing on a plant-based diet, with sandwiches and cakes among the offerings.

The ground floor will be the retail level, with a wide selection of board games in various genres, role-playing books, collectible card games and more gaming accessories. There will also be some gaming tables on this level.

Quest is being launched by gaming fan Mitz Cubley and his wife Katriona. Mitz was formerly the manager at Leicester comic book shop Forbidden Planet, and has for years been keen to open his own shop.

Katriona previously ran her own clothing business, but following the birth of their daughter last year, the couple decided to launch a business in which they could work together and that would better fit in with family life.

Mitz and Katriona are keen to provide a great experience for all gamers, and are ensuring that there are facilities for new parents, children and disabled customers.

They also plan to run events aimed at new mums, and others for students.

Customers will pay to enter the coffee shop and hire a space - either by the hour or for half a day. Prices are yet to be decided, but the owners are keen to ensure it is affordable.

Quest will open at 45 Belvoir Street, Leicester, later this month.
