"As Winter transitions into Spring, it's time to turn our attention to what many would consider to be the event of the year ..." - many thanks to .com for this very funny (and unofficial!) advert for this year's RetroFest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DScdsdFIP_A - And don't forget, if you want to meet Glass TTY (along with over 50 other awesome exhibitors) you just need to buy tickets at www.retrofest.uk - it would almost be rude not to!

A look at what to expect at RetroFest 2026. Full details and tickets are here.https://www.retrofest.uk/

It's just one week to go! It's getting full, though. We have more tickets available for Sunday, and it’ll be almost exactly* the same wonderful exhibitors. If you’re just coming one day, please consider coming Sunday, to ensure everyone gets to come to our event! https://www.retrofest.uk/tickets.php

* Currently Sam Battle (Look Mum no Computer) is not attending on Sunday, but Roland Perry - the man behind the Amstrad CPC - will be there instead.
