Grown-ups can feel like a ‘kid again’ as an over-18s dive fair opens, pairing video games with riverside drinks.
Fairgame, which will open in London’s Canary Wharf on October 4, will deliver iconic games such as whac-a-mole, roll-a-ball derby, duck shoot and water gun clown a unique twist.
Conventional fairground components, created by interior designer Patrick McKinney, will be on display, as well as rubber duck installations, mirrors and lighted carousel booths.
The redesigned video games have been four years in the making and players will soon be able to battle to win one of Fairgame’s big pink teddies – but no kids.
The venue will have three bars and a riverside terrace where visitors can sip fair-themed cocktails and Craft beer brewed in London.
Under 18s are strictly prohibited from Fairgame, the new all-inclusive fair which will open its doors in Canary Wharf, London next month.
In addition to playing classic favourites, visitors can enjoy a drink at one of the on-site bars or on the riverside terrace
“Fairgame is a very immersive experience where friends can eat, drink and be kids again,” entrepreneur Richard Hilton, who is launching the idea, told Street Food Blog.
“The fairgrounds has been beloved for generations and now we’ve mixed the video games everyone loves with the latest expertise in an incredible setting.”
He described the 20,000 square meter venue as an ‘epic evening’ where adults can feel nostalgic as well as enjoy new, never-before-seen games.
“Fair games to help us reawaken our inner happiest child,” reads the event’s website.
