Tips for an enjoyable visit:

  • No food & drinks please: Water bottles are fine but please no food or other drinks. You’re welcome to pop out to grab a drink or meal then come back.
  • The warehouse-type location can mean it gets a bit warm in the summer and cold in the winter – dress light on the warmer days, and an extra layer on cooler days may be desirable.
  • There are over 80 computers on display and around 18 functioning exhibits.
  • For exhibits that are set up to be used, please restrict usage to the keyboard and mouse – unfortunately the plastic cases and components can become very brittle and break easily 🙁 So please don’t pick up or move the computers or monitors, however…
  • If you’d like to have a look inside a computer or explore its physical functionality further, just ask! I’m very happy to assist where I can.
