Margate’s GEEK festival took a break in 2016 and so a local couple, who curated sections for the event in previous years, decided to keep the flag flying with an offshoot ‘tapas selection of family fun’. Bits & Bytes took place in February and was a one-room taster of cosplay, video-gaming and interactive art – take a look at our gallery to see what went on.

This year however, GEEK was back and took place in Dreamland’s iconic and newly-refurbished Hall By The Sea from 17 to 19 February 2017. This time around the event focused on multiplayers and encouraging everyone to participate in all genres: board games, real-world games and video games, both retro and new generation.

Below you can find a short photo gallery from the event. If you see yourself, let us know in the comments at the end of this post!
