Video Store Day 2026

Today is Video Store Day.

This year is the 16th Annual International Independent Video Store Day.

'International Independent Video Store Day' is observed on the third Saturday of October each year.

Do you still have a video store near you?

This was Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England earlier this year

Check out my blog post from Video Store Day 2025 where I wrote about the video stores we've visited on our travels, Blockbuster Video, video shop speakeasies, Blockbuster-themed crazy golf holes, non-rental video shops, 'Free Blockbuster', and more!

YouTube Channel updates (August 2026)

I've created some new playlists on my YouTube Channel.

It's mostly TRAIN related stuff!

You can also find a fair few minigolf videos from the last 20 years of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour though.

Playing Hole 13 of Australian Adventure Golf at Adlington Golf Centre

The Australian Adventure Golf course at Adlington Golf Centre became the 1,117th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

The gigantic course lays claim to the title of being the largest Adventure Golf course in Europe and features 18-holes of outdoor adventure golf that are played over 1500sqm of greens and a 10,000sqm site.

The theming is superb and very immersive, with lots of interactive elements. And the holes, obstacles and very large greens are a very tricky - but still fun - playing area to tackle.
