We told you Pages N Pixels was going big when we moved to the Woolshops. Not only is there a new shop space but there is also a fantastic space for activities upstairs.
To start this we are bringing in the help from Blast from the Past to support our Pixels from the Past lauch event:
Pixels from the Past! With an opening weekend discount offer below 👇
This will include the fantastic vintage arcade ready for bookable events inside Pages N Pixels. This will be running Fridays, Saturday and Sunday in Pages N Pixels and Just Gaia featuring the awesome machines from Blast from the Past.
More information is below, with all bookings managed by Blast from the Past online or by speaking to us in Pages N Pixels in store.
The ArcadeL
The arcade =has a whole new set up just for these events!
Gone are the days of being crammed nuts to butts in the sardine tin that was my old room, here are just a few, but not all, of the new features for the Blast from the Past x Pages 'N' Pixels event:
✨️ Return of the everyone's favourite classic 80s livingroom set!
✨️ An full new reception area! With a sofa and vintage gaming magazines to take a bit of a break!
✨️ More Pinball than ever before with 9 Pinball machines ranging from 1947-1980!
✨️A whole new SECOND LIVINGROOM! With cartoons on the TV, toys, books, and even a whole dining table to play games at!
✨️ New easily accessible board games shelf to choose from any of the 60+ classic board games!

✨️ Even more games than ever before, with over 160+ original cartridges across the Atari 2600, NES, Master System, Mega Drive and SNES!
💥How will it work💥
So the arcade will be operating for the public events on Friday/Saturday/Sundays with sessions from 12pm till 6:30pm
If you're looking to book the whole place for your own event, private hire will be avaliable anytime at all with a new increased capacity please enquire with Pages N Pixels about this.
The public sessions will be prebooking only, either through the link provided when each weekends tickets are launched or you can message me here to book in advance too!
But you can book in anytime at all before the next session so if you're in town and want to join in the next session feel free too pop me a message or book online if theres any spaces left!!🚀
I've been thinking a lot about how it will all work and how much time do I feel is need for people to actually get immersed in the fun and get to experience as much as they can during their visit!
If you ever did the 30 minute of play at the old place you'll know just how fast it goes and that you barely get to have play on anything, and now there's even more to enjoy!!
💥PRICING AND WHAT YOU GET💥
Each session will be £15 per player and will give you 2 hours of playtime for fantastic freeplay fun on all my original arcade cabinets, my historic pinball collection, my line up of classic home consoles with over 160+ different cartridges to swap out, all the awesome 70s/80s handheld games and all the best toys ever made dotted around too! Theres nothing else you'll need to spend once you've paid in! ☄️
But only for this first opening weekend, I will be doing my original pricing for the 2 hour gaming session at a bargain price of just £10!!!
