COMPUTER fanatics get the chance to go back to the future and spend a night at the museum.

As part of the Museums at Night events, the Museum of Computing, in Theatre Square, is holding a ‘Bedroom Programming Challenge’ on Saturday from 8pm to midnight.

Visitors will also be able to write their own computer game which will be entered into an online competition. No programming experience is needed as the museum’s experts will guide people through the entire process.

The event has a dress code of pyjamas, but other nerdy evening wear is acceptable. Entry costs £6. To reserve a place email geek@museumofcomputing.org.uk.
