GCT Gaming Summer Slam
A day of console gaming for kids and teens aged 12-18 at the Civic Theatre — NES to PS5, VR, Switch and Smash Bros in a supervised community setting.
About This Event
The GCT Gaming Summer Slam is a packed day of console gaming at Gosforth Civic Theatre on 7 August, designed for young gamers aged 12-18 looking for a supervised, social environment during the school holidays. Expect everything from retro NES to PS5, VR, Nintendo Switch and Smash Bros tournaments. The event grows out of the theatre's popular weekly Gaming Social, an inclusive club that runs during term time. The Civic Theatre is an independent, community-led venue founded as a social enterprise by people with learning disabilities — so inclusivity is baked in. A brilliant option for families looking for structured, screen-positive fun over the summer.
