Gamecity

GameCity is a unique celebration of videogame culture. It’s a series of regular events culminating in an annual festival that takes place in Nottingham’s best venues and public spaces. GameCity brings people together to participate in interesting things and engage in playful experiences in exciting new ways. Since 2006 when we started, we’ve had: Art exhibitions, tea parties, music recitals, world premieres, public debates, arcade trails, club nights, big-screen outdoor gaming, pub quizzes, lego animations, book readings, 3000+ zombies, 4 tons of Lego, 2 world records, 1 album and loads of other stuff. GameCity is about showcasing the most exciting new work in the world. It’s about world-class developers sharing their creativity and the public joining in. Come and play. GameCity is a project of Nottingham Trent University with support and backing from a range of private and public sector partners. In 2008 NTU collaborated with the National Media Museum to launch the National Videogame Archive. It now has over 3000 objects in the collection.
