Hollywood Bowl Group has today announced it will open an exciting new family entertainment centre in Cardiff.
Friends and families will be bowled over by the multi-million-pound, state-of-the-art experience which will be located inside the city’s popular St David’s shopping centre – owned by Landsec.
Welcoming guests from spring 2026, it will be Hollywood Bowl’s biggest new centre opening in the UK, bringing a mix of competitive socialising activities.
Split across two floors, inside a 45,000 square foot space, the new centre will feature ten-pin and duckpin bowling lanes, interactive darts and electric go-karting. It will also include an amazing arcade packed with the latest games as well as pool tables and quality diner-style food and drink that the brand is famous for.
Pablo Sueiras, head of retail and hospitality Leasing at Landsec, comments: “Welcoming Hollywood Bowl to St David’s, in what will be the brand’s largest UK opening yet, further cements St David’s role as the go-to destination for the best brands and experiences in the region. Featuring Cardiff’s first confirmed electric go-karting experience, this latest signing strengthens St David’s appeal as a first-choice place for families in Cardiff and beyond.”
Laurence Keen, chief financial officer for Hollywood Bowl Group, said: “We are excited to confirm plans to open a fantastic new family entertainment centre at the popular St David’s shopping centre in the heart of Cardiff.
“Opening spring 2026, this will be our biggest new centre opening yet. Cardiff has a thriving leisure culture and we’re proud to be able to deliver a second site in the city, creating more local employment and opportunities for families and friends to make memories together.”
Hollywood Bowl has built a strong reputation for delivering affordable, fun family experiences across the UK, and the new centre will be its second site in the city alongside the popular Hollywood Bowl Cardiff at the Red Dragon Centre.
Guests will be able to pre-book from early 2026 ahead of the planned opening in spring.
