Event details

Sometimes we all need a space where we can take time out from day-to-day life. Why not join us at the Borthwick Institute for Archives and enjoy a place to play and relax?

Try out games from the archives that aren’t commercially available and haven’t been played before and learn more about where the games were found.

Suitable for ages 16+.

An accompanying exhibition can be viewed on the ground floor of the Raymond Burton Library building. On display are the original games adapted for the event, with information about where the games were found.
