Wookey Hole has the biggest collection
of original Edwardian Penny Arcade
machines in the country, and visitors
can play them with real old pennies!
Take yourself back to the heyday
of the Great British Seaside Holiday!
Simply change your money at the kiosk,
and we’ll provide you with a
pocketful of pre-decimalisation pennies
to use on any of the machines.
Have
lots of fun playing Wookey games online

 Postcard
from Letty Jenkins to Edith
Spooner, 18th August 1910:
"Really
lovely here - am writing this
on the pier with lights just
coming on, ever so pretty and
people still on the beach. Joe
and me have been playing the
machines - there’s a Folies
Bergere one that’s really
awful, Joe spent six pence on
it. I shot six black cats and
he tested his grip - it says
he’s got the grip of a
Plumber which is about right!
There’s a professor here
who rides a bike off the end
of the pier (honest) and I’ve
just had my fortune told as
well as my weight - I turned
the dial to ‘Will I Regret
My Marriage’, and Joe said
too late anyway..."
