‘Spooky’ Game On! The Guided Tour – Friday 30th October 2026

A special museum tour with a spooky twist! Our in-house gaming experts will guide you through the history of video games from the seventies to the modern day. Video games have progressed from simple black and white pixelated play to immersive epics that rival any blockbuster movie. But how did this happen?

The tour will start at 2pm and last around 45 minutes, and provides an opportunity to discuss and even argue the merits and weaknesses of your favourite consoles and games!

The tour is free (although museum entry charges apply – £12 for adults, £8 for children, £10 for concessions and students, £23.50 for a family ticket of one adult and two children, and £34 for a family ticket of two adults and two children). The ticket includes entry to the museum for the whole day. Please note that children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
