Our business model creates value by continually investing in enhancing the customer experience

What sets us apart


Successful brands

We operate a portfolio of bowling and mini-golf centres across the UK and Canada, under our Hollywood Bowl, Puttstars and Splitsville brands.


High-quality estate

Our centres are predominantly in prime locations, in out of town multi-use leisure and retail parks, alongside cinema and casual dining sites.


Motivated and engaged teams

Our teams are the face of our business and are focused on delivering the best brand experience for our customers.


Landlord relationships

Excellent relationships with developers and landlords ensure that we maintain a strong pipeline of potential new high-quality sites.


Strong balance sheet

By driving revenues, continuing to achieve healthy margins and maintaining a strong balance sheet with low net debt, we are able to invest appropriately in all areas of our business and create value for our stakeholders.

What we do

Our centres offer a complete entertainment experience for customers of all ages. Alongside our core offer of bowling or mini-golf, they can also enjoy amusements and food and drink which enhances their visit and also increases reasons to visit, dwell time and secondary spend.
