The UK is packed full of Arcades…

Whether you are looking for a Freeplay Arcade, an Arcade Bar, a Family Entertainment Centre or just a place to play a few games of Space Invaders, check out the list and map below to see what’s near to you!

We love Arcade Machines at Play Leisure, obviously! And while we do get to play on quite a few, going to an Arcade, Arcade Bar, Freeplay Arcade or Entertainment Centre and playing a few with a group of friends or the family is really enjoyable. So, we’ve compiled a list of places we think are worth a visit. Check out the map above and give some of these places a try!

Arcades traditionally used to be a simple set up where you’d visit and then pay to play each game that was available. Most were based in seaside resorts. Nowadays there are lots of different venues which incorporate arcade machines. You can visit Arcade Bars such as NQ64 and Kongs Bar where you can enjoy an evening out with friends at the same time as playing machines on a pay per play basis. Or check out one of the freeplay venue such as Arcade Club, The Arcade Warehouse, Retrodome (and many more) where you pay to enter and then all of the games are free to play. These venues tend to have Bars, Cafes as well.
