Step Into the Past at Pinball Alley’s Vintage Penny Arcade

Remember the thrill of dropping a coin into a machine, pulling the lever, and hearing the satisfying clunk of old-school mechanics?

At Pinball Alley, we bring that magic back to life with our authentic vintage end-of-pier penny arcade – the kind you thought only existed in seaside postcards and childhood memories.

This isn’t a corporate arcade with polished branding and scripted service.
This is the real thing – lovingly restored machines, a nostalgic atmosphere, and personal service from people who genuinely care.

Run by Pinball Geoff – as seen on BBC’s The Repair Shop

Our arcade is run by none other than Pinball Geoff, known for his expert restorations on the BBC’s The Repair Shop. If you’ve seen him bring vintage machines back to life on screen, you’ll know just how much passion and skill goes into every detail.

Now you can visit Geoff’s own working arcade, packed with beautifully restored penny and pinball machines from decades past – and yes, you can actually play them.
