Our space has been invaded - help us see off the Alien Threat at Pinball Factory this weekend.

Space Invaders pinball somehow borrowed from both the Space Invaders arcade game and the HR Geiger Alien artwork without a license for either.

This 80s classic is fully restored and ready to play at Pinball Factory.

With the new Spider-Man movie swinging into Cinema's next week now seems like a great time to revisit an absolute stone cold pinball classic - Spider-Man from 2007 manufactured by Stern Pinball.

This is based on the classic Tobey McGuire trilogy (the best ones, right?) and is one of our go-to games for folks new to the hobby to get started with as it is fun, fast, flowy and it is pretty easy to figure out what to do.

Battle Doc Oc, Sandman, Venom & Green Goblin along with loads of classic moments from the classic movie trilogy.

Roll on by and get your spidey fix this weekend!

To keep pinball machines looking and playing their best they need regular cleaning and maintenance.

The hard working Pinball Factory volunteers have cleaned and serviced all of our machines this week so they look and play amazing.

If you have only ever played grubby, beaten up machines on a pier or arcade then roll on by the pinball factory to see just how amazing pinball is when the machines are properly cared for
