Liverpool retail park to create new jobs with new £2.8m entertainment centre

The Hollywood Bowl Group has announced the opening date for its latest bowling and family entertainment centre at the New Mersey retail park in Speke this November.

Hollywood Bowl Speke will offer family and friends a “taste of Tinsel Town” with work well-underway on the £2.8m centre, opening as part of New Mersey’s multi-million redevelopment project.

The new centre seeks to bring “exciting, affordable fun and high-quality entertainment” to New Mersey when it opens its doors for the first time on November 4 and will also create 30 new jobs in a variety of different front of house and hospitality team roles.

Hollywood Bowl’s latest centre is set to feature 16 “state of the art” bowling lanes including high-tech scoring and wireless phone charges on all lanes.

On top of ten pin bowling fun, guests who visit the centre will also get to sample its American style bar and diner featuring a selection of food and drinks, including American classics such as hot dogs, burgers, shakes and “signature” cocktails. The venue’s amusement area will offer games, such as Mario Kart, air hockey and racing games.

Jenny Hares, centre manager at Hollywood Bowl Speke, commented: “We’re so excited to be bringing the renowned Hollywood Bowl experience and a glitzy new centre to the people of Liverpool’s Speke. New Mersey has undergone a major refurbishment, which has been highly anticipated and represents a real milestone for the area.

“Hollywood Bowl has built a strong reputation for delivering affordable and exciting entertainment experiences across the UK and we can’t wait to welcome family and friends from across the city to have fun and make memories together in our new state of the art bowling centre just in time for the festive season, and we’re also taking bookings for Christmas parties.”

Russell Hall, centre manager at New Mersey, added: “We’re excited to welcome Hollywood Bowl to the retail park. It’s a fantastic addition to our leisure offering and gives visitors another great way to spend quality time with family and friends – especially in the run up to Christmas!

“Hollywood Bowl joins several other exciting new openings we have planned at the centre, including Pizza Express, Yo! Sushi and Poundland.”
