GAMES HUB NEWS

As a reminder, as of April 1st, the hub deskspace moved downstairs into the second floor 77 Stokes Croft, Bristol and has evolved into a new venture, CO-OP MODE! CO-OP MODE, like its sister organisation Bristol Games Hub, is also a not-for-profit company and was created to support games and interactive media as a place to work, collaborate and enjoy an event.

The Bristol Games Hub has helped support the start-up of this new company to deliver deskspace services into the future. All Bristol Games Hub events will take place in this space.
