Welcome to Duke’s Gaming – Where Everyone Has the Right to Play

Located in the heart of Pontypool, Duke’s Gaming is more than just a game shop—it’s a community hub built for individuals, families, and friends who believe in the power of play.

We’re proudly built with gaming in real life in mind. Our mission? To break down barriers and create a safe, welcoming space where everyone—regardless of experience, age, or background—can come together to play, learn, and connect.

Built for the Next Generation of Gamers

At Duke’s, we’re passionate about giving people a place where they can be themselves. Our space is designed for:

  • Face-to-face interaction

  • Real social connection

  • Developing key life skills like teamwork, confidence, and communication

We offer after-school clubs, weekend meet-ups, casual drop-ins, and tournaments—all in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Everyone’s Welcome at the Table

Whether you’re new to gaming or a seasoned pro, Duke’s Gaming is a place for everyone:

  • Young people looking for a fun and safe hangout

  • Adults who want to socialise

  • Families looking to bond over shared interests

  • Everyone in between!

We believe games are for all ages, all backgrounds, and all skill levels. No pressure. No judgement. Just play.

A Safe Space to Connect

Duke’s is more than a shop—it’s a safe, inclusive space where:

  • New friendships are made
