Retro Computing Day Event – Register Now!

Date: Saturday, July 19, 2025 Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Bring Your Hardware – Share Your Projects!

Whether you’re repairing, modding, programming, or just showing off your retro setup — this day is all about celebrating what you’re working on.
No set theme this time, but we’ll include a light nod to computer music, with a few sound-related demos and tunes along the way.

Event Highlights:

• Hardware Showcase: Bring along your vintage machines to exhibit and discuss with fellow enthusiasts.
• Pet Projects Welcome: Whether it’s software, mods, or music, we’d love to see what you’ve been building or restoring.
• Collaborative Projects: Join others in working on hardware tweaks, code experiments, or classic game exploration.
• Knowledge Sharing: Swap ideas and tips with like-minded retro computing fans.
• Repair and Upgrade Tips: Get advice on troubleshooting and improving your systems.
• Refreshments Provided: Tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day. Plus, enjoy lunch at the on-site Finnegans Café.

Open Invitation to All!

We welcome all retro platforms — not just Acorn. Whether you’re into Sinclair, Atari, Commodore, Amstrad, Apple or others, you’ll find a friendly group eager to chat, share, and collaborate.
