Be a Secret Santa and give the gift of play this Christmas!

The National Videogame Museum celebrates games through playable exhibitions, inspirational courses and exciting events. We're asking our supporters to pay it forwards and donate the cost of admission for others in the community to enjoy.

We believe that everyone, from any background, should play and make games. By donating the price of a ticket (or more!), you are enabling someone who may not otherwise be able to afford it to visit, or are supporting our work with disadvantaged groups in the city - ensuring the cost of entry is no longer a barrier.

Your donation will be used to fund museum entry for those communities we engage with as part of our outreach work, for local charity partners, or for school children accessing our award-winning educational and vocational programme.

Where your money would go -

£9 would fund entry for one child

£36 would fund entry for one family

£270 would fund entry for one school group

£850 would support one week of school holiday activity for families

£8,000 would fund Games Careers Week for 1,500 from across the region

Please support us to harness the power of games to change lives!
