Unlimited playing time on large screen arcade games
ActOne Cinema
October 21, 2026
ActOne Cinema is turning half-term into a full-throttle celebration of gaming, nostalgia and big-screen chaos with a one-day Unlimited Gaming Day on Wednesday 28 October. Running from 10am to 3pm, the event transforms the cinema into an arcade where families can roam, play and compete across a mix of classic titles and cutting-edge consoles.
The day is part of ActOne’s fifth-birthday celebrations. Two of the headline games — FC26/27 and NEX Playground — will be projected onto full-size movie screens, giving players the rare chance to experience their favourite titles on a cinematic scale. Mario Kart, Guitar Hero and the racing simulator Assetto Corsa Competizione will be available on smaller screens throughout the venue.
The event is open to all ages, with age advisories in place for specific games: NEX Playground is suitable for all, Mario Kart from six, FC26/27 from nine, Guitar Hero from ten and Assetto Corsa Competizione from eleven. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or a parent keen to revisit the titles you once loved, the day promises a lively mix of competition and nostalgia.
Tickets cost £6 and can be purchased at the door or via the ActOne website. Prizes will be awarded to winners, adding an extra spark to the friendly rivalry.
Visitors are encouraged to book early — spaces are limited, and the cinema expects strong demand for this half-term highlight.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
