The new opening date for Swindon’s Hollywood Bowl has been revealed after the grand opening has been delayed twice.

Unit 15 of Greenbridge Retail Park has been undergoing construction over the last year to transform the venue into a bowling alley and amusement arcade.

The venue promised to welcome customers in late spring 2024, but the opening was pushed back until August, according to the Hollywood Bowl website.

Now the company’s website says the venue will open on November 23, adding to the existing venues in Bristol, Cheltenham and Oxford.

The unit previously housed Currys PC World until 2021 and was a temporary base for the charity Computers for Africa until their lease ran out.

Earlier this week, new signage was placed in front of the building's windows, indicating work would soon be completed.

The firm has also been in the process of recruiting staff to man the centre when it's open. 

A Hollywood Bowl Group spokesperson said: “Plans to transform the site at Greenbridge Retail and Leisure Park are now underway and progressing positively.

"We will be on-site in August, which will see us opening to guests in late 2024.

"Once complete, Hollywood Bowl Swindon will offer affordable fun and family entertainment.

"The centre will feature 22 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, as well as the latest amusement arcades and tasty food and drink for families and friends to enjoy.”
