A look at the Blockbuster Video-themed Crazy Golf hole at Golf Fang Nottingham.

Did you know there are 'Blockbuster Video' themed minigolf holes in the UK?

They're part of the Golf Fang indoor crazy golf courses.

The first one we saw on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham back in 2017.

We played the Golf Fang indoor crazy golf course in Nottingham on our recent trip to the city.

We timed our visit perfectly during a wander round the city centre as the doors opened just after we arrived so we were able to be the first players on the course on a Saturday morning - a nice bonus for us as minigolf courses can get very busy, especially on weekends!

Golf Fang crazy golf in Nottingham is a themed, 18-hole indoor minigolf layout where the journey through the 18 holes gives you a wild experience of obstacles, sights and sounds!

One of those holes is a playable Blockbuster Video shop!

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Golf Fang indoor crazy golf course in Nottingham was the 1,088th course visited and 587th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Golf Fang was formerly known as Ghetto Golf, and we've previously been to their locations in Digbeth, Liverpool and Byker.

Video shop memories.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s I've got fond memories of visiting video shops with my family and picking out a film or two (generally one of the Police Academy films, action flicks, or horror movies as I got older!).

I found the preserved remains of a Blockbuster Video store in Fallowfield, Manchester in 2019. And during the coronavirus pandemic my interest in lost brands and retail history was piqued. Since then we've been to several former Blockbuster Video stores around the UK, as well as finding some other old, and some still open, video shops on our travels!

There were some 'interesting' titles in the BARGAIN BIN at Golf Fang!

Visiting Blockbuster Video stores.

At its peak in 2004 there were more than 9,000 Blockbuster Video stores around the world. 500+ of which were in England, Scotland and Wales. Interestingly in Northern Ireland the Xtra-Vision brand was used by the owners in-line with the Republic of Ireland.

The last Blockbuster Video shop ceased trading in the UK in December 2013.

Amazingly we've been able to find traces of the brand at 29 former store locations. This has ranged from QuikDrop boxes to parking signage to full shopfronts!
