I recently visited the Retro Relics Gaming Cafe in Market Lavington, near Devizes, Wiltshire, which has just been opened this October by a good friend of mine. It’s always important to support your friendly local game store – doubly so if you know the owner – so please check out my review below.

The newly renovated cafe has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with a range of teas, coffees, locally made cakes and snacks available. I’d also highly recommend the hot chocolate! Retro Relics also stock a range of Games Workshop, Magic the Gathering and Army Painter products, as well as other gaming supplies.

It’s worth dropping by for the food and drink alone, but if you want to get some gaming in then there are board games available for all ages, from kids to gaming veterans. This includes some true classics such as Hero Quest, Space Crusade and Space Hulk! As well as the general games for all visitors, Retro Relics also have a membership package that offers access to an expanded range of board games. There’s also plenty of room to play card games like Magic and Pokémon, and tabletop wargames like Warhammer and Blood Bowl.

You can find Retro Relics Gaming Cafe in Woodland Yard, Market Lavington, Devizes, SN10 4AG, and also on Facebook and Instagram if you want more information or to book a table. They are open Wednesday – Sundays, 10am – 8pm, (with a 6pm close on Sundays). Parking is available outside the cafe.

Thanks very much for reading today’s post, and do check out Retro Relics if you’re in the area, or give this family-run business a like or follow on Instagram or Facebook. That’s all for today, but I’ll be back again soon with more hobby progress updates.
