Preston
What it’s like
Sixteen lanes of bowling and a cinema screen under one roof, open from 9am to midnight every day.
Bowling is the main event here, sixteen lanes of it, so there's room for a big group without hovering by the desk waiting for a lane to free up. There's an Arc Cinema screen on site too.
The hours are generous. Open 9am to midnight, every day of the week, which means you're not squeezed into a tight evening slot or fighting the after-school rush. That said, with no booking link listed, it's not clear you can reserve a lane ahead, so turning up and hoping is the approach for now.
On site there's a café and a restaurant. Parking is proper too, 164 secure spaces with accessible bays, and if you're coming without a car the bus station is a five-minute walk and the train station is ten to fifteen.
