Vintage amusement arcades currently open in the UK

Southport - Pier Pavilion

Has someone else opened up in Southport since Clive's arcade moved out?

Nice little blog here about JC's Brighton seafront Mechanical Memories Vintage Amusement Arcade from Ellie & Co. Guide to Secret Brighton.

H,
With all these arcades still running, are they still making a crust for people operating them? And do the public actually understand them as when I've watched people playing them they always seem to look slightly confused and unsure? Cheers

I've added the above to the updated list of Locations in the new Archive and removed those that have fallen by the wayside. If you know of others, please post them there.

Does anyone know if Cheddar Crazy Golf has amusement machines again this year?

Another I'm unsure about (having never visited) is Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. Does it still house a circa 1884-1915 coin-operated model steam locomotive, a tin-type Mutoscope and an Adelphi Manufacturing Co. Gipsy fortune teller?

Are there still working models by Bolland and Kraft at York Castle Museum?

Any news on Old Penny Memories, Chris?
I'll try to get an update from Clive about his current enterprises.

Old Penny Memories on stand by and ready to go, subject to a good position being offered.

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.

Is there a topic (can't find it) of active working penny arcades around the country. Would it be possible to have its own category on the start up menu?

And updated again a few days ago to mark Darren's Botany Bay arcade as 'now closed' and an update on the status of Clive's operations. News expected soon of a new vintage arcade...

Please could you add my second arcade to the list it is at Miniature World, Wroxham, Norfolk.
