Hollywood Bowl Bolton has been celebrating its half a million pound makeover. The venue hosted a VIP night to mark the refurbishment of the centre, which is at Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park, Bolton.
It features 26 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, including four plush VIP lanes, adorned with Marvel and Star Wars characters on the walls. As well as the bowling, with an innovative scoring system and digital top scorer boards, there's a big amusement area with everything from Space Invaders, Mario Kart and Halo, to all-time family favourites such as air hockey and racing games.
The new Ball Madness game, which drops hundreds of balls onto a player's head, was a huge hit with guests, who have to stand in the cubicle and race against the clock to gather up the balls and place them inside a tube. There's also an upgraded Hollywood diner and bar serving true American-style classics such as hot dogs, burgers, including a vegan burger, as well as shakes and signature cocktails.
In true Hollywood style, Thursday's VIP night saw 'Marilyn Monroe' join guests to cut the ribbon on the new centre. Mike Tinston, centre manager for Hollywood Bowl Bolton, said: “We were thrilled to host this VIP event to celebrate our glamorous LA-style makeover where guests were able to enjoy a truly memorable Hollywood experience.
“Friends and family who visit will be bowled over by the best there is to offer, from fun and competitive bowling to delicious food and drinks, here at our new-look centre in Bolton.” Guests are advised to pre-book on the website and are reminded that they can wear their own shoes to bowl in.
