It's Party Time At R-CADE

So you are looking for a fun and unique venue to host your next party or gathering? We have hosted over 200 private parties here at R-CADE. From kids birthdays, to 40th and 50th birthdays. From engagement parties to stag and hen do's. From online community meetups to works 'team building' nights (they just get drunk and play Mariokart to crown office champion!).

We love all the different events and reasons for big groups to book our space and have a great gaming experience! We have two different booking options with lots of ways to tailor your party or event:

ARCADE ONLY PARTY: This option gives you exclusive use of our arcade area for up to 16 guests. We can offer 1,2 or 3 hour parties. Once you book you can request your favourite games to be set up in time for your arrival, the guest of honour will be given a special gift from R-CADE and you can opt to buy R-CADE party bags for each guest. With this option the cafe area stays open to the public, but you get the arcade area all to yourselves!

IMPORTANT NOTE: R-CADE parties can only be booked for gamers aged 8 and up. Kids under 8 can attend private parties as guests, but the majority of guests must be aged 8 and up. We no longer accept birthday bookings for kids aged 7 or younger.

FULL VENUE PARTY: By booking a full venue party we close the doors to the public and you can host up to 30 guests with exclusive access to our arcade and cafe. This party type includes juice for all guests, a hot drink per adult, party bags for all guests and you can bring your own food which we can set up in our cafe area. The guest of honour also receives a gift from R-CADE too.

This option is best suited for larger groups, or smaller groups who would like to play and enjoy food / drink too.

30% OFF PIZZA!

We have also teamed up with local pizza restaurant Nonna Said in Merchant City. If you have booked an arcade only party you can visit Nonna Said afterwards and receive 30% discount on all food items.If you are booking a full venue party you can pre order Nonna Said pizza buffet and have it delivered to R-CADE during your party, you also receive your 30% discount too!
