THE SHOW

1) What is the focus of the show and unique selling point of REVIVAL?

The focus of REVIVAL is 'pure retro'. The show is centred around arcades and the roots of retro gaming, and also captures the culture of that era and the gaming scene it spawned. REVIVAL will feature the best retro gaming consoles, arcade/pinball machines and the best selection of memorabilia traders found at any gaming show, but will also have major support from retro gaming celebrities, retro toy, media and culture exhibits and most importantly, unique retro-inspired projects that enthusiasts and coders are creating to bring 'new retro' to the scene, exclusive to REVIVAL.

2) Will the arcade cabinets be free to play after paying admission?

Yes they will - all the arcade cabinets, and indeed all other games systems at the event, will be free to play on paying admission to the actual event itself.

3) Will there be lots to see and who will be there?

Many exhibitors will not be confirmed in the early stages but announcements will be posted the minute they are. There are already enough partners and equipment to host an event, so there will be plenty to play, see and experience however the final line-up stands.

4) Will there be more personal elements, such as talks and interaction with 'scene faces'?

Yes of course! Many retro gaming celebrities will be attending, signing memorabilia, mingling about the show discussing gaming history and many will be giving talks in a dedicated, quieter conference room about past and upcoming projects. Familiar online bloggers, casual media and other such related people will feel very welcome here and have plenty to document and talk about.

5) Will there be anything to buy?

Yes - we are encouraging a large number of traders to attend so there will be plenty of chance to buy gaming items, collectibles and other retro culture memorabilia, and with our retro celebrities doing signing sessions, there will be chance to get your own purchases signed too! There will also be some official merchandise that may well feature licenced official artwork from big names too!

6) Will there be refreshments available?

Yes - there will be a limited menu of comfort food (burgers, chips, snacks, soft drinks etc.) available from within the venue, all welcome to be taken round the show or enjoyed in the dedicated 'gaming chillout zone' that will be hosted by our partners Surface Tension. This venue is also licenced so alcohol WILL be available on-site throughout the time the event is running.

OTHER

1) Can I get involved and how can I offer my services?

Yes of course - this is a highly community-driven event and we welcome offers of personal help, equipment to borrow and press opportunities too. Please contact us at enquiries@revivalretroevents.com with your full name, details of how you would like to contribute and your availability/location.

2) How do I attend as a trader?

Trade pitches will be available starting at £200 for a generous 8ft x 6ft pitch. Larger pitches may be available once the floorplan is drawn up so ask for details. At these reasonable rates, we would prefer it if every trader could bring some kind of 'interactivity' for their stall, such as playable games, exhibit items or similar.
