100 Pinball Machines in 20 Minutes!
100 Pinball Machines in 20 Minutes!
I went to UKPinfest 2026 in Daventry — the UK’s only dedicated pinball event — with around 100 pinball machines available to play! In this video I take you around Pinfest and show you some of the incredible machines on display, from vintage classics through to some of the newest games around. There were some seriously unusual machines too, including the spectacular Carnival of the Damned, along with games from Stern, Jersey Jack, Spooky Pinball and plenty more. I also got the chance to play machines I rarely see in the UK, catch up with fellow pinball fans and generally spend far too much time surrounded by pinball machines! If you've never been to UKPinfest before, hopefully this gives you a good idea of what it's like. It's a brilliant weekend for anyone who loves pinball, with machines spanning decades of pinball history — and they're all set to free play. UKPinfest took place at the Mercure Daventry Court Hotel in Daventry, Northamptonshire. 👉 Official UKPinfest website: Let me know in the comments which machine you'd have headed for first — and whether you've ever been to UKPinfest.
