None of this prepared me for the sight that was the main hall, a cavernous area filled with consoles and computers of every description, some of which I’d never seen before. I really liked the Laser based games, which can be projected on the flat surface of whatever you may choose! Around the edges there were many inventive games, provided by the Video Game Carnival a group that create games using inventive home made parts, and also display older LCD and VFD games, all available to play and enjoy. Personally I really enjoy documenting such places, after the dissapearance of the arcades I loved, I want to capture any memories I can find out there, and Seaside Gardens did not dissapoint.īut what of the event itself? As I entered the first hall I was surprised how busy and crowded it was, there were stalls selling various items, games, t-shirts and themed goods of various types. ‘Faded glory’ once again applies to this building, with posters advertising celebrities of the past, some no longer with us, some just returning to the limelight. The event is held in the Winter Gardens, a large theatre dug into the seafront, apparently so that it didn’t obscure the views of the covenant that existed while it was constructed over 100 years ago. Change is coming, but slower than people expected, and definitely, GEEK is a step in the right direction.

It’s only when you pass the harbour that you see the more aspirational part of Margate, starting with the Turner Contemporary gallery, from hereon the town is full of the kind of coffee shops and artsy craftsy places that made Brighton such a successful seaside experience. At this end of the front, you really wonder how Rough Guide decided that Margate was an up and coming place to visit last year. What a difference a couple of decades make, the Margate of today is a ghost of it’s former self, the arcades dead or full of ticket redemption and gambling machines, and amazingly the first ever seafront branch of Primark! (Although I doubt it will be the last!) Looking at it’s faded glory, you can see that Margate needs an event like this, to try and remind people of what once was, and more importantly, what it could be, if the Dreamland Trust are as good as their word, and for the sake of the first roller coasters to grace this country, I hope so. The Margate of that time period was bustling and busy, and even a little glamorous. I myself have a historical link to Margate, as a child of the mid-70s/early 80s with a family caravan near Dover, I would spend my summers watching the morning cartoons which would be interspersed with Anglia television adverts for the eponymous ‘White knuckle theme park’ Benbom brothers, AKA Dreamland, and looking forward to the inevitable family trip there to enjoy the seaside sights and sounds. Everything seen in the game could be recreated in real-life with just paper, scissors and glue.Last weekend (21st-23rd Feb) GEEK made it’s triumphant return to Margate, the event is billed as a celebration of gaming culture which brings back the gaming community to Margate, which was once home to some of the finest arcades in England.
