Greater Manchester
Videogame Nation
If you are looking for something a little different to do during the summer then we recommend a visit to Videogame Nation hosted by Urbis in Manchester.
This exciting exhibition charts the meteoric rise of videogaming from classic video games you remember from your childhood to displays showing how gaming could evolve in the future!
We are showing our support through donating two twin bus seats to the exhibition, these seats will be modified to incorporate a games console on the seat to show how gaming on the move could change the way people travel.
To make sure you don't miss out on the chance to sample some classic games and explore how gaming has developed through the years and the potential of gaming in the future make sure you click here for details of this event or contact 0161 605 8200.
