Half-term fun and games at the Eden Project

VISITORS can play their way through half-term at #Cornwall’s #EdenProject with a wide range of oversized, retro, and traditional games to entertain all ages from May 28 to June 5. 

There will be a giant selection of hands-on games, and younger ones can explore the many play areas and hidden nooks and crannies that Eden's gardens have to offer.

In the Core building, gamers can step into the history of video games, from vintage to virtual reality. There will also be Subbuteo table tournaments and classic 8-bit games in a magnetic form on the fridges.

In the Rainforest Biome, Eden's narrators will be teaching visitors about a variety of global games, such as mancala, a strategy game played using a wooden board with hollows in and either seeds, small stones, or marbles.

Kate Francis, Eden Live Programme producer, said: ‘Game On will be a great chance for families to play and share their favourite games with one another. We are inviting visitors to come to explore the world of gaming at Eden from arcade classics to playground games. Gaming is about having fun, but it's also about being creative, collaborating, and solving problems. These are all skills that are very useful in day-to-day life. There are a lot of advantages in all of us playing games. It tests our brains, helps us think differently about our environment, and teaches us life lessons for the future, no matter how old you are!’
