Hello Cave Dwellers!

Revisit your childhood memories and get hands-on with systems from the ‘70s to the ‘00s in our retro computer and video game exhibition space.

Park your BMX outside and pop into our recreated '80s high street computer game shop filled with cassette tapes, big box games and cartridges (but don’t spend your pocket money all at once).

Try out our fully working collection of tabletop games and handhelds, read your favourite computer magazines of yore in the library with a coffee from our tuck shop, and visit Neil’s filming set to learn how a working YouTube channel operates.

Snacks, sweets and soft drinks are available. (Please note, The Cave operates on a cashless basis; only card payments are accepted.)

We look forward to welcoming you to The Cave, a retro technology haven in the heart of The Cotswolds.

The Cave is located on the 4th floor of an 18th-century mill, and there are approximately 40 steps up to its entrance. Unfortunately, due to the listed nature of the building, there is no elevator.

You are booking to visit The Cave. This does not include entrance to Arcade Archive. Add a visit to Arcade Archive on the same day to automatically receive a discount in your basket.

Please note that the toilets are located on the 3rd floor and are only accessible via stairs.

If you have any questions about your visit please contact us and we will do everything we can to help you.
