    Replacing Megabowl, which went into liquidation earlier this year, the site in Hesterman Way underwent a complete renovation over the summer.

    Elizabeth Richard dressed as the Queen for the opening of the new facility, which includes 25 bowling lanes, 10 American pool tables, a Take 10 Diner Bar, cosmic bowling, amusements and a fully licensed bar.
