Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk

Interactive
Gaming Day

A FREE day of gaming, friendship and fun for 11–16 year olds, held at King's Lynn Library on Thursday 20 August 2026.

Console pros, first-time gamers and everyone in between came along, got stuck into the games and made new friends. We brought the tech, the games and the goodies; they brought the enthusiasm.

The Gaming Day was the opening event of the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk's Future Talent: Tech Programme, and this was just the beginning.

What the day looked like
A full day of gaming on the latest tech, with something for every level, from fast-paced multiplayer to all-time classics. No experience needed, no kit to bring and no cost at all. Young people just turned up, dived in and made new friends along the way.
Made for everyone
A relaxed, welcoming space for young people of all gaming experience, backgrounds and abilities. Our team was there to make sure everyone felt included and had a great day, with a quieter corner available for anyone who needed a breather from the action.
In safe hands
We know it matters who's looking after your young person for the day. Tech Educators is an Ofsted Strong Standard education provider, every member of staff is DBS-checked, and a named leader was on site throughout the session. The Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk was also proud to partner with us and support the day.
Fuelled up throughout
Free food and soft drinks kept everyone going throughout the day, with allergies and dietary needs catered for.

That was just the start

The Gaming Day opened the Future Talent: Tech Programme. Next come school workshops at King's Lynn Library through October, followed by the finale: HackEd King's Lynn at the Corn Exchange on 4–5 November 2026.
