Pinball tournaments are back in London!

London Pinball has partnered with Forked River Brewing Company to provide pinball fans with a place to play a collection of eight well-maintained classic and modern machines. These games are available to play whenever Forked River is open. All games operate on loonies, so bring some change and head to Forked River Brewing at 45 Pacific Court, unit #4 in East London to check out the London Pinball Parlour!

In addition, along with pinball aficionado Julie Dorssers, we are hosting regular tournaments in the space. These events are sanctioned by the International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA)​ and are worth valuable IFPA ranking points. Tournaments take place on the first and third Tuesday of each month beginning at 8pm. Additional tournaments are held once a month on a Saturday and, starting in the new year, Julie will be hosting a monthly women's/gender-diverse event! 

Tuesday events are $10 to enter plus coin drops. Saturday events are $20 plus coin drops and include awesome prizes. Women's/gender-diverse events are $10 plus coin drops.
