The refurbishment will also see the arrival of brand new pool tables, ideal for enjoying some relaxed fun with family and friends.

Any of the Centre’s 18 lanes can be pre-booked, and with lots of different areas to relax in the Diner and bar area, Hollywood Bowl is perfect for celebrations of all occasions; from family gatherings and children’s parties to nights out, work functions and informal work socials.
