Games Fest at The White Rock Theatre

Games Fest is coming to the White Rock!

Calling serious gamers, casual console players and anyone in search of something fun to do with family and friends! Games Fest is coming to The White Rock Theatre on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th January 2025, offering two sessions of pure gaming glee.

The popular event produced by The Guildhall Trust, the new operators of the White Rock, will make its debut in Hastings having proven to be a huge success at the Trust’s Portsmouth Guildhall venue. Bringing a library of over 100 of the most popular board games around and giving demonstrations of some the newest releases to hit the market will be partner, Dice Board Game Lounge.

Pick a game, take your place at the table and participate in the competitions and tournaments that will be running across the weekend before perusing a fully stocked shop so you can buy and continue playing your new-found favourites at home.

Providing a dream set up for every retro arcade enthusiast will be Game Over. Relive the magic of your youth and introduce the younger generations to classics such as Pong, Pac Man, Tetris, Sonic, Street Fighter and more, and enjoy gaming tournaments projected onto a giant screen.

In the Indie Gaming zone, see the showcase of Logic Town – a relaxing coffee-break puzzle game of pure deduction, and Proverbs – a picross/minesweeper hybrid featuring a single enormous 54,000+ piece puzzle, inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s 1559 painting “Netherlandish Proverbs”.
