The best dedicated retro gaming event returns, with 'REVIVAL Solstice 2016' on the weekend of 30-31 July at Banks's Stadium, Walsall!
After the successful comeback event 'Winter Warmer 2015', REVIVAL once again returns to large scale for the Summer with the aptly titled 'REVIVAL Solstice 2016'. This new event marks the start of a new show plan for future REVIVAL events organised by the RRE team, and brings back all the attractions of our previous Summer exhibitions. This year's event features already include:
- Over 100 playable retro consoles and computers
- Over 50 classic video arcade machines and pinball machines
- On-stage competitions and prizes
- A larger selection of traders offering various retro collectables
- The return of the guest talks panels and new gamer's theatre
- Reasonably priced, fully licensed bar and gamer's snack bar serving hot and cold food
- New large Summer venue for up to 1000 visitors per day, near M6 J9 and J10
- Choice of nearby hotels with direct rail and bus links to the venue
The event page is now up from our Facebook page and e-tickets are now on sale directly from our ticket merchant here: https://www.tickettailor.com/checkout/v ... 6/chk/069b. Tickets are priced at £12 per day/£20 for a weekend for adults, and concessional tickets at £6 per day/£10 for a weekend for children (12 or under), disabled users and their assistants.
Thanks to the popularity and support shown by the attendees and contributors of our warm-up event, the team are once again in a position to bring back all the popular features of our previous full scale events as we always wanted to. This means that more contributors will be involved to bring you more playable systems, more games, more arcades, more pinball, more unique show experiences, new guests, more competitions, more traders, more stuff to buy and more prizes! This new event is intended to be complemented by a new size Winter event called 'Equinox', so be sure you join us this Summer and enjoy that excellent REVIVAL atmosphere to make sure it can happen!

. As usual, it's worth dropping Pete a message if you want him to hunt down any hard to find in the UK PCB's or hardware so he can see what he turns up on his trips round Europe prior to July!
