Inspiring Young People Through Creative Expression and Community

Gaming Social is a place where gamers can come together to play our huge range of consoles with their friends.
We started our in-person Gaming Social in 2018 as a way for people who love gaming to get together and socialise over something we’re all passionate about. We've amassed a collection of games and consoles, from Mega Drive, Spectrum, and NES to VR and PS5 and loads in between. We also have regular tournaments of Super Smash Bros on our big screen!
