Do we ever have one in the UK ?
I think the nearest thing I've seen recently is the retro festival at
the Cambridge CCH museum.
TNMoC of course has excellent fixed exhibits but I don't think it's
had guests for a long while.

Yes and no. TNMoC ran one several years ago at Bletchley, but haven't
repeated it since. I suspect that fell foul of the animosity between
the Bletchley Park Trust and TNMoC. However, there was a preliminary
announcement on Facebook from Simon Hewitt on 32 May for a VCF 2026 in
the UK.
If you'd like to get in touch, please email
info(a)vintagecomputerfestival.org.uk. If you're a collector, run
computing events yourself or if you just love retro computers, gaming,
coding or just anything vintage - then we want to hear from you!
Likewise if you or your business would like to sponsor or be a part of
what we are creating then please get in touch!

I'm looking forward to the one here in Atlanta tomorrow. :)
Wonder what kind of PDP-11 stuff I'll find, if any.
