Peterborough's iconic Laserforce to close after 25 years

The popular laser tag venue is set to close its doors at the beginning of March after being unable to secure a lease for new operators.

Laserforce was founded by Martin Nash of , with help from his sons, of Nash Entertainment Centres Ltd, 25 years ago, but with Martin now looking to retire, a buyer for the site was found but the potential new owners have been unable to secure an agreement on a new lease to run the premises.

This has forced the venue to close and its final day will be a four-hour gaming session on March 1.

Martin said: It’s sad, I built this place 25 years ago with my sons. I enjoy the work and it’s great fun and I thoroughly enjoy it but my next birthday is my 70th; I’ve got family and it’s time I dedicated a bit more time to them.

It will be sad to close because it’s got a huge following with tremendous loyalty and I have had some lovely messages from people reaching out.”

Bookings are still being taken for February and the holiday games sessions will be running during half-term. There will also be a special four-hour Sunday session on February 15.
