New Summer Gaming Event Heads To Margate Later This Month

PLAY Margate, a brand-new summer gaming event, will take place at the Margate Winter Gardens on the weekend of August 21.

Held in partnership with Replay Events, PLAY Margate promises a mix of retro and new release PC and console games, cosplay contests, merchandise traders and two after parties run by GamerDisco. These after parties will mix gaming, music and live entertainment.

Other event highlights include ‘The Ring’, a 16 screen gaming carousel hosting both casual and competitive head-to-head LAN gaming on some of the best FPS and driving games. In addition, the Video Game Carnival celebrates the quirkier side of gaming with sideshows such as Lazer Pong, first-person Scalextric and giant Game Boys.

Replay Ages and Celebrations Zone will feature over 100 computers and consoles showcasing some of the very best games and genres from the past 40.

PLAY Margate runs between Friday, August 21 and Sunday, August 23 at The Winter Gardens, Margate. Tickets and additional info is available at the event’s website.
