VR in Liverpool — free-roam, multiplayer, 24+ games.

The nearest dedicated free-roam VR centre to Liverpool is Arena X VR, 15–25 minutes across the water in Upton, Wirral (CH49 1AB). While Liverpool city centre has a few small pod-based VR spots and arcade-style setups, Arena X VR is the only purpose-built 200m² wireless free-roam arena in the wider Liverpool/Merseyside region, with capacity for up to 14 players per session.

For free-roam multiplayer VR, Arena X VR is the highest-rated VR centre near Liverpool. We offer 24+ multiplayer experiences, wireless backpack headsets, two interconnected arenas totalling 200m², and group pricing from £23–£25pp — significantly better value than city-centre pod-based competitors.
