A brand new 'first of it's kind' gaming store will open up in Arnold town centre with an 'amazing range' of popular games. Friends Zoe Clarke, 55, and Saphia ‘Phire’ Clarke, 51, are planning to open a shop in Arnold which will sell a huge range of Board Games, Circus Skills equipment and related hand-made wooden crafts.
The two set up Dice and Balls, a Community Interest Company, to help locals through board games and circus skills workshops. After years of hosting games events and gatherings, Zoe and Saphia are due to open a ‘community gaming hub’ in Arnold.
In April, they were set to open their gaming shop Dice and Balls on Front Street, Arnold, however the plans fell through after the landlord’s wife fell ill. Now, Zoe and Saphia are securing a unit in Arnold town centre and are ‘beyond excited’ to open their new shop. “The beauty of board games is that it brings people together,” said Zoe.
