About

Maidstone residents and visitors are invited to take a trip back in time with the nostalgia-filled exhibition, I Grew Up 80s. You’ll explore the cultural landscape of 1980’s Britain through the eyes of a child – revisiting the colourful vibrancy and innovation that defined the decade. From Betamax to BMX, Dirty Dancing to Donkey Kong, the Thompson Twins to Transformers.

I Grew Up 80s is a lovingly curated time capsule of over two-hundred treasures that showcase the youthful exuberance of the much-loved decade. Collector and cultural commentator Matt Fox has devoted himself to exploring a 1980s childhood through the iconic objects of a decade in which so much changed.
