The villages.

Themed, hands-on spaces run by the community. Drop in any time on the day.

Between the talks, the villages are where you get your hands on things. Each one is run by a group from the community, with something to try, play with or solve. No need to book, just wander in.

  • Retro village

    Timeline

    About Timeline

    Timeline is a hands-on retro computing exhibition built around original computers and consoles from the 1970s through to the 1990s. The aim is to let people experience the technology rather than simply look at it.

    At NIDC

    I’ll be bringing a handpicked selection of original machines from the Timeline collection for attendees to get hands-on with throughout the day. Expect plenty of nostalgia, some familiar favourites and a few surprises.
