MORE THAN A HIGH SCORE

History you can
get your hands on.

From a blinking BBC Micro cursor to a favourite console game, technology tells stories. At Re:Wired, you can explore those stories by playing, experimenting and asking questions.

We collect, restore and celebrate vintage computers, consoles, arcade machines and electronics. As a Community Interest Company, we put our community at the heart of everything we do.

PreserveRescue the machines and their stories.
EducateDiscover the ideas behind the screens.
InspireTurn curiosity into something new.
