Located in Ealing, west London, the UK's first Valhallan Esports Training Centre will be targeted at young gamers aged from seven up to 17.

Valhallan states that its aim is "to bring education, life skills, and inclusive competition to the world of youth esports" and players will be grouped into teams to engage in games and encourage teamwork, while boosting their own skills and abilities.

The training aspect will enhance gaming abilities while learning life skills and socialising with others around the same age with similar interests.

Sessions will be held on a weekly basis and teams can play on a local, national and international level in tournaments, both with other Valhallan teams and external teams.

Parties and events can be booked at the venue. Drinks will be available for children and parents.

Valhallan currently has 13 locations in the US and Canada.
