We've got Beebs, Electrons, Archies, and load of other UK, US & Jap stuff - nothing newer than year 2000

It's nearly all hands on - not just displayed behind glass (the more fragile items are an exception)

Open most Saturdays but ideally book in advance through the site.

Sounds good!

It does indeed. I'm very much looking forward to visiting.

Very exciting - I am just over the border in Nottingham and hadn't heard about this at all. I will plan a visit.

Awesome! And I think I have a home for a 14” CRT TV I have lying around.

I visited today, it's very impressive! Did anyone else go?

The Acorn representation is currently pretty good (certainly relative to other machines) - there are two BBCs, one A4000 and an Electron (all of which are usable). I also spotted a non-functional Viglen BBC which I guess they might rotate into the usable displays.

I was the one in the C64 shirt!

I did order a BBC B owl too which I was going to wear but that hasn't arrived yet

There is a video - it looks pretty good!
