Description :

An evening of Christmas themed gaming for all the family!!

We'll have dozens of games to enjoy, including some from the vaults. And what's more, as part of our annual Toys of Christmas Past display, we'll have a selection of good, old fashioned toys from the past to see and play with too!
Also on display will be rare collectables from Christmases of the past. You will be able to see Smurfs, Dinky and Matchbox, Pocketeers and more! Go back to the 50s, 60s, 70s 80s, and 90s with us!

Come reunite with Action Man, Sindy, Barbie, Fisher Price and the Six Million Dollar Man, not just to look at through a glass cabinet, but hands on.

See a Millennium Falcon on a screen and in toy form. See how Lego embraced video games while still keeping those handy little bricks relevant to kids today.

As if this isn't enough, there will be a Christmas quiz for all the family, so you can test your gaming knowledge with our resident quiz master. We will have a gaming sheet to keep score on some of our favourite machnes, such as Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Centipede, to name but a few.

We'll be opening at 6pm for a solid 4 hours of digital entertainment in a fun and family friendly environment. There will be games that everyone can play, from all the retro classics you can think of, through to modern consoles like Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. It's a great chance for kids and parents to come together, share experiences, compete against each other and talk, talk, talk about how Christmas used to be. 

A great event for all the family - kids young and old!!
