A new virtual reality gaming arena could be opening in the South.

A planning application has been submitted for The Matrix Arena Ltd to open in the Balthane Industrial Estate in Ballasalla.

Plans for the VR, free roam, multi-player gaming arena outline the convenient location and parking facilities, detailing that access to the business wouldn't be an issue.

If approved, the arena would be open from 5-10pm on weekdays an 10am-10pm on weekends, running by appointment only for small groups or larger parties.
