!! PLEASE DO NOT DONATE ANONYMOUSLY !! ALSO PLEASE NOTE NEW BIGGER VENUE LOCATION AND THIS YEAR THAT WE HAVE THE AMAZING MARAOKE ON THE TOP FLOOR!

Started back in 2012 as a party to mark the 30th birthday of SpecialEffect Ambassador Simon Barratt (Cooperative Innovations & JECO) - the end of Develop party has become a games industry tradition raising over £85k in aid of SpecialEffect to support their incredible work.

Many thanks to our wonderful sponsors Cooperative Innovations, JECO, Centroid, Auroch Digital, Green Man Gaming Distribution, Flix Interactive and Other Things (more sponsors to be announced soon!).

100% of donations on this page go directly to helping SpecialEffect!

We are asking each person for a suggested donation of £20 (but people are of course free to contribute more!) to reflect the addition of Maraoke and the generous free bar (including soft drink & non alcoholic drinks, the bar tab does have a limit so is number dependent)
