LANCraft Events has announced it will be hosting another Enclave UK gaming LAN event following on from the inaugural Enclave 1 gaming LAN, which attracted over 500 gamers last month.
Enclave II: Outbreak will return to Arena MK in Milton Keynes, situated next to the stadium of MK Dons football team. The LAN event will take place across the Easter bank holiday weekend next year, starting at 6pm on Thursday, April 2nd, 2026 and running through until 4pm on Monday, April 6th, 2026.
The event will be run by LANCraft Events Ltd, a business set up by Matt ‘Kharne‘ Macdonald and Michael ‘Geosnipe‘ Lambert who both previously worked for Player1 Events as the esports manager and community operations manager for the now-defunct Insomnia Gaming Festival, which entered liquidation last year.
We are very excited to launch Enclave II: Outbreak!

The sequel to the first Enclave event will be much of the same as a bring-your-own-computer LAN gaming that is open for 24 hours every day of the event. On top of that, there will be a social tabletop gaming area, a chance to try some of the latest gaming hardware, a 24-hour bar, scheduled gaming events with loot up for grabs, and some esports tournaments.
The first Enclave event featured cash tournaments for both Rocket League and Overwatch 2 with the former sporting a £900 prize pool where as the Overwatch event had a minimum pool of £750 that could have increased up to £1,500 depending on the level of participation. Enclave is continuing to host grassroots-level esports tournaments but has not confirmed any games or events for next year’s LAN.
Last month’s event was also supported by Riot Games, which provided all LAN attendees with ‘League Unlocked’, which unlocks every playable champion in League of Legends for participants to try.
Enclave II will also be continuing its own bespoke “meta-game storyline” which will carry on the narrative from the previous event. Attendees can choose to participate in the story, producing a made-up resource called “LANium” by playing games, joining scheduled events, and completing challenges. Each day, the LAN community then votes on difficult choices to decide how the sci-fi story progresses.
BYOC tickets for the event start at £130, which includes a padded chair and a table space of 91cm by 76cm.

In my seven years of esports writing, I’ve introuduced esports coverage to newspapers, interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry, and driven viewers mad with the puns in my YouTube scripts. I’m most proud of the latter.
