    • GEEK is a three-day festival of games and play and returns to the home of entertainment, Dreamland Margate, for the second year.
    • The 2018 edition of the event will have a space theme as it celebrates the 40th anniversary of Space Invaders.
    • Visitors can expect hundreds of games from retro consoles to modern day technology, as well as coding, science and cosplay.

    GEEK (4)
    Dreamland Margate today announces details for the return of Kent’s largest gaming festival, GEEK (Games Expo East Kent), which takes place on February 16th to 18th 2018.

    Thousands of dedicated gaming enthusiasts, families looking for half-term fun, and those who are simply seeking to indulge their nostalgia for retro consoles from their childhood are set for an unforgettable February as they meet, make and play.

    Back for a second year and taking over the entire undercover areas of the park, GEEK 2018 will be transforming Dreamland with a space theme as it celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original Space Invaders. The festival will also commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release of Super Smash Brothers Brawl on the Nintendo Wii with a grand franchise tournament, a day dedicated to Minecraft will see a cave for build-battles and the Jedi Fight Academy will show budding Jedi’s light saber skills and much more – taught by actor Andrew Lawden, who starred in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

    The family-friendly event will be bigger than ever as it showcases technology, creativity and fun at the iconic Dreamland site. It will present a behind-the-scenes look at gaming with a plethora of entertainment on offer. Featured games will include old favourites spanning generations to virtual reality experiences, all amongst the entertainment park’s very own vintage arcade and pinball machines.

    The popular Cosplay Masquerade will return and those looking to put their gaming skills to the test can take part in tournaments in Street Fighter V, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, Halo 4 and many more.

    GEEK will offer a full programme of exclusive workshops and talks, and throughout February, there will be insightful educational activities with local schools and community groups – which aim to lift the lid on the gaming industry.

    Rebecca Ellis, Senior Creative Producer at Dreamland Margate, said: “GEEK is beyond a festival of games; it reveals all of the facets of games making and playing in a social environment. Dreamland is a natural home for a festival of play and games, people have been coming to the park for years in this way.”

    Kate Kneale, Co-Founder of GEEK, said: “This will officially be GEEK’s sixth year and eleventh event. The team is really excited about the content we have lined up for the 2018 edition. Play and games are powerful forces for good. GEEK’s objective is to encourage people to come along and have fun and to explore the creative aspects of gaming. This year promises to have more going on than ever before and we can’t wait for people to come and experience it. So come along to meet, make and play at GEEK!”
    Tickets to GEEK are on sale now: bit.ly/GEEK2018.
