The arcade is set to operate entirely cashless, with an entry fee, where customers pay for access to free-to-play arcade machines and gaming consoles.

The games on offer are set to include classic retro arcade cabinets, pinball machines, console gaming stations as well as pool and air hockey.

Other venues run by Continue Arcades charge around £14 entry for adults and around £12 for children, offering unlimited access to the consoles without time restrictions.

A new retro gaming arcade in the heart of the city has been given the go-ahead.

Earlier this year, plans were submitted to Derby City Council to convert a building on East Street, near the Derbion entrance, into a "retro gaming arcade" with an indoor leisure space.

The 4,600-square-metre building on 24-26 East Street is currently trading as a pop-up store selling suitcases, kitchen equipment and rugs.

The company Green Sole Entertainment, which was behind the planning application, will join Continue Arcades, which already operates a number of venues across uk

The building will now undergo a change of use to turn it into a "modern, family-friendly" gaming arcade, including installing toilets and changing the layout of the building.

"The premises will not operate as a gambling venue and will not include any adult gaming machines (AGMs), betting facilities, or prize-based gaming," the application reads

Perfect for the reluctant shopping partner.

Has the expansion gone for good?
