Sandbox VR is the coolest virtual reality spot you’ll find. Located in the Grand Central Shopping Centre in Birmingham, it’s got space for up to 200 people and can accommodate any group size.

We’ve got everything you need for a great event or team meeting, including a high-tech Robotic Bartender, a fully stocked bar, and catering options that fit your needs.

When you’re ready to mix things up, dive into group VR adventures in our six virtual arenas. With eight exclusive Sandbox experiences, you’ll enjoy super realistic gameplay that’s way beyond what you get at home or other VR spots.

Whether you’re battling zombies in Deadwood Valley, saving the world from aliens in Amber Sky 2088, slaying dragons in Seekers of the Shard, or trying out Netflix's Squid Game: Virtuals, there’s something for everyone. And when you’re ready to chill, grab a drink from our robot bartender, Toni, or our human bar.
