Retro Pac-Man and Super Mario machines to be placed outside Superdry
The Broadway is set to host a retro arcade event this February half term.
From February 17 to February 21, the centre will offer gaming fans the chance to play on classic machines like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Super Mario.
The event is free to attend and open from 9am to 7pm every day - the gaming pod will be located outside Superdry.
Bookings are required between 11am and 4pm each day, with limited slots during busy periods.
Ian Ward, general manager at the Broadway, said: "We're always thinking of new experiences we can bring to all shoppers, and with gaming expected to reach a massive 11.56 million people by 2027 [ our retro arcade will be a big hit.
"With all the advancements happening on the gaming scene, it's always good to experience some nostalgia so we think the pop up will be a hit with both old and new gamers."
In addition to the retro arcade, Impact Gamers, based in Bradford, have been awarded funding to invite local youths to design their own arcade style games.
These games will be showcased in two repurposed arcade cabinets outside HMV from February 12 until the end of October.
