A £4.6m gaming and education hub has opened its doors inside a Grade II-listed building in Whitehaven.
Levels occupies the former Whittles building on Duke Street in the Cumbrian town, offering e-sports set-ups for competitive gaming, a flight simulator and a studio space.
It is hoped the facility will help boost digital skills and keep young people in the area.
"It's about providing not just entertainment, but an engagement with tech around awareness with digital skills [and] career pathways," said Levels managing director Ian Irving.
Michael Pemberton, from British Energy Coast (BEC), which helped develop the project, said the hub was a "place for everyone".
