October half-term game spotlight - Plants vs Zombies 🧟🪴🌻 Stop the zombies from entering your home! Plant sunflowers or sun-shrooms to gather sunlight, and use it to grow pea-shooters, wall-nuts, and other traps and defences to keep out the shambling undead! Plants vs. Zombies was created by American game designer George Fan. Initially, it was planned as a sequel to his previous game, the virtual pet simulator Insaniquarium. He took inspiration from sources as diverse as the real-time strategy game Warcraft III, arcade classic Tapper, card game Magic: The Gathering, and the 1960 film Swiss Family Robinson. Find Plants vs Zombies in our spooky games bundle this October half-term 🕹🎮👾 Saturday 24th October - Sunday 1st November only. Find out about the full half-term programme - 🔗

🎮 Happy 30th anniversary, Tomb Raider! Three decades ago, Lara Croft burst onto our screens and changed the videogame landscape forever. Since its debut in 1996, Tomb Raider has become a cultural phenomenon, helping to shape the evolution of 3D gaming and creating one of the most recognisable characters in videogame history. From pioneering adventures to blockbuster films, Lara Croft’s legacy reaches far beyond the games themselves. Here at the National Videogame Museum, we’re celebrating the legacy of Tomb Raider with a showcase of objects from the World Record breaking Tomb Raider Games Library, currently on display as part of our Together We Play exhibition. Celebrating the people and fans behind the games we love, Together We Play explores the passion, memories and communities that make videogames such an important part of our culture. #TombRaider30 #LaraCroft #TogetherWePlay #VideogameHistory #NationalVideogameMuseum

👻TONIGHT👻 London psychedelic goths JESUS AND THE ZEALOTS head to Sidney and Matilda this evening with Gelder on support! On their 2025 single Baby In The Cupboard, Music Is To Blame Magazine wrote: “London baroque-goth outfit Jesus and the Zealots are back with the deliciously haunting ‘Baby in the Cupboard’ - a self-proclaimed product of several years of live performances. A fan favourite when performed live - the track is a complex, twisted ride of distorted guitars and heavy synth. One cannot help but feel taken in by the opening riff, an echoing, gothic call to arms reminiscent of the hypnotising pull of Siouxie and the Banshee’s iconic ‘Spellbound’. The whispering, vocals of frontman Henri haunt the minimalist instrumental - a menacing sneer with a bubbling undercurrent of an overbearing, shaking fear. The expansive space of the sound contrasting the claustrophobic lyrics - “I’ve been putting baby in the cupboard / He gets what he deserves, he kept me up all night.” The space of the song is a dark, damp, abandoned building - the song a slow, maddening drip drip drip on cold, wet stone.” Tix are cheap and available via our website!
