Step into the heart of gaming culture with Timeless 25, Liverpool's premier gaming convention that tears down the barriers between fans and their heroes. In this in-depth conversation with event organizer Maggs, we explore how this beloved community gathering has evolved into the ultimate celebration of gaming passion.
Maggs reveals the exciting new venue spanning multiple connected spaces—Kane's Brewery arcade with its three floors of free-to-play games, and the adjoining Punch Tarmys pub transformed into exhibition halls and performance spaces. This expanded setting addresses previous feedback while maintaining the intimate, accessible atmosphere that makes Timeless truly special.
The lineup this year reads like a who's who of gaming personalities: WhatCulture Gaming team members, Stuart Ashen hosting panels, Slopes Game Room returning with his wildly popular quiz, and the creators of Tomb Raider sharing behind-the-scenes stories of the iconic franchise. The content creator panel, hosted by Big Fuzzy Yak, brings together diverse voices including Studio 42's Tommy and disability advocate One-Handed Gamer.
What distinguishes Timeless from other conventions is its commitment to inclusivity. With improved accessibility features, quiet spaces for those who need sensory breaks, and activities spanning all age ranges, everyone feels welcome. The event stretches into the evening with special competitions, arcade tournaments, and entertainment until around midnight.
For just £20 (or £17 with code UCP25), attendees gain access to tournaments, exhibitions, panels, free arcade games, and the opportunity to meet and chat with gaming celebrities in an environment where no VIP ropes separate fans from their heroes. As Maggs puts it: "This isn't just a festival of gaming—it's a festival of friendship."
Whether you're competing in the Just Dance competition, browsing rare collectibles, trying indie game demos, or simply connecting with fellow gamers, Timeless 25 offers an authentic celebration of gaming culture that puts community first. Join us on August 13th in Liverpool for an unforgettable day where gaming's past, present, and future come together.
