The Arena is open as a LAN gaming centre each Friday and Saturday. The company also plans on adding an office and printing service soon too.
There will be a cold soft drinks machine in the arena, with a chip shop and vegetarian take-away nearby, and gamers are welcome to bring food back with them to the arena.
