Supporting Tabletop Cafe
A Fundraiser to save a locally owned cafe and community space
Blenheim, Marlborough
Tabletop Cafe, Marlborough's own late-night hobby space, has been our dream since we opened in 2023. We wanted to build a welcoming place for friends, families, and fellow gamers to connect and play.
Sadly, a difficult winter and rising operational costs now threaten to close our doors for good. We've fought hard to stay afloat – we've innovated, hosted more events, and cut our running costs wherever we could, but we've reached a critical point.
We are now turning to you, our amazing community, for help. Your support will go directly towards covering our immediate costs and ensuring we can continue providing this unique, family-friendly space for Marlborough.
We have poured everything that we are into this cafe and the community that has grown around it. We are eternally grateful for any support you can offer in our time of need. Thank you for being part of our story.
Use of funds
Any money raised will initially cover outstanding rent payments and bills, with the remaining being used to cover other necessary expenses from the employees expenses as it comes.
