Planning permission has been granted for a new 21-lane Hollywood Bowl in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, UK.
Work will now begin on the 23,000sq.ft site, with an expected opening date of early 2026. It will be the second Hollywood Bowl in Northern Ireland, with the first located in the SSE Arena in Belfast.
The development is part of a wider £9m plan to create a food and entertainment quarter in the area.
Laurence Keen, chief finance officer at Hollywood Bowl Group, said: “We’re excited to open a 21-lane bowling alley and family entertainment centre at The Boulevard – our second location in Northern Ireland following our successful launch three years ago in Belfast.
“The brand performs extremely well across the UK offering an affordable contemporary entertainment experience for families, and friends to come together for fun games, enjoy food and drink and really make a day of it. We are encouraged by The Boulevard’s strong performance and are looking forward to joining the solid roster of tenant brands on site, welcoming customers keen to make the most of the scheme’s retail and leisure mix.”
