RIP Hyperactive the Internet Cafe

Hyperactive closed down on Friday the 25th of October 2002. It was a sad day for us to have to shut down one of the South West's oldest and finest independent Internet Cafes. The cause of this sudden demise was Railtrack who owned the building we occupied, they increased the rent to such a point that carrying on trading was no longer economically possible. We are currently talking to the Phoenix Arts Centre on Gandy Street about relocating the PC's into their building. As soon as we have confirmation of this move we will post information here. We would like to thank all our customers for their support over the years.

UPDATE: 25/10/03
Well it's exactly one year since the unfortunate demise of Hyperactive, and sadly there is no happy ending to this story. The Phoenix move has not happened and is unlikely to. This page will remain here as a testament to the hard work and dedication that went into the cafe, which was more for the love of the place and the people than for financial gain.

If you would like to leave a message please use our condolence book.

View the hall of fame or wall of shame depending on how you view it :)
