The countdown is officially on as Hollywood Bowl prepares to open a new, 26,500 sq. ft., multi-million-pound venue at The Centre, Livingston, which is one of Scotland’s largest shopping centres, at 9am on Saturday, 21st November. The state-of-the-art venue will feature 22 bowling lanes, including four exclusive Hollywood-themed VIP lanes complete with leather sofas, velvet drapes and dedicated lane hosts, alongside pool tables and an amusement area showcasing some of the UK’s latest arcade games.
Adding to the experience, Hollywood Bowl’s signature bar and diner will be serving a menu of favourites, from burgers and hot dogs to milkshakes and cocktails. Guests can also order food and drinks directly to their bowling lane. With excitement building ahead of the opening, pre-bookings are now open on the Hollywood Bowl website, giving visitors the chance to secure their lanes ahead of the big launch.
To mark the opening and expansion into the leisure sector, which also coincides with The Centre, Livingston’s 50th anniversary, various activities will take place on the weekend prior to the launch and on the day. These include the installation of a 3 ft x 22 ft inflatable bowling lane to help hone your skills before the opening, roaming performers dressed as bowling pins handing out branded badges, appearances from ‘Livi the Unicorn’ mascot in a Hollywood Bowl shirt, face painting and a bowling-themed face-in-the-hole board for photo opportunities. A live musician will also perform a specially curated playlist of iconic American classics to welcome the venue’s very first guests – with the first five in the queue receiving a £50 Gift Card courtesy of The Centre, Livingston to mark the occasion.’.
The arrival of Hollywood Bowl will further enhance the offering at The Centre, Livingston which is home to over 150 stores and restaurants, including M&S, Flannels, H&M, Søstrene Grene, Wingstop, wagamama and the country’s largest JD Sports store – spanning 1m sq. ft. and attracting 15.8 million visitors annually.
