Cheshire's first free roam virtual reality gaming arena is up and running.

Havoc VR has enjoyed some amazing feedback since opening at Adlington Business Park in September.

Inside you will find a huge free roam VR arena, an interactive sports gaming wall and a variety of arcade machines.

Centre manager Mark Wainwright is keen to get the word out about this new facility, so more people can enjoy everything they offer.

The 46-year-old said: "We've had amazing feedback from everyone who's visited!

"Whilst there are some national chains offering this kind of thing, they tend to be in the big cities.

"I just felt there was an opportunity for something here, between Stockport and Macclesfield, to serve the local community and for the kids to enjoy."

Mark previously worked full time in the merchandising and retail industry.

Upon being made redundant at the end of 2024, he decided it was time to chase his dreams.

"I've always wanted to run my own business," Mark said.

"It's quite a gear change but something I really wanted to get into sooner rather than later."

Havoc VR opened for business on September 12, taking on a brand-new unit at Vulcan One at Adlington Business Park.

With Pure Padel Stockport located next door, Mark believes the area could become a new 'leisure destination' for Macclesfield residents.

He said: "I've long had a passion for leisure and the recreation industry.

The centrepiece of Havoc VR is the free roam VR arena, the first of its kind in Cheshire.

Up to 12 players at a time can take on a variety of missions, including zombie survival and tactical jungle combat games.

The large space means gamers can move freely and become completely immersed in the virtual world.

Havoc VR also boasts a Multi Ball interactive sports wall, offering a variety of fast-paced challenges and immersive games, as well as several arcade machines.
