Hollywood Bowl Group has announced it will open a new family entertainment centre in Cardiff.
The multi-million-pound venue will be located inside the city’s St David’s shopping centre, which is owned by Landsec. Welcoming guests from spring 2026, it will be Hollywood Bowl’s biggest new centre opening in the UK.
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 arcade as well as pool tables and diner-style food and drink.
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.”
The new centre will be its second site in the city alongside the Hollywood Bowl Cardiff at the Red Dragon Centre.
Helen Morgan, Centre Director at St David’s, said:
“Hollywood Bowl will be an excellent addition to St David’s as the brand’s largest UK opening yet, bringing with it an exciting e-karting first for Cardiff. Its mix of all-ages games and entertainment will further enhance the centre’s appeal to guests, and cement St David’s position as the region’s go-to destination for the best brands and experiences. It’s a fantastic addition to our line-up, complementing existing favourites like Treetop Golf and boosting the centre’s ever-growing leisure offering.”
