Tenpin Ltd (stylized tenpin, and formerly known as Megabowl and Tenpin 10), is one of the largest ten-pin bowling brands in the United Kingdom, consisting of 51[1] bowling centres ranging from 12 to 36 lanes (depending on the size of the centre), which often have on-site bars serving food and drinks. They are principally located on retail and leisure parks alongside family leisure brands
The brand was formerly owned by Essenden Ltd,[2] now Ten Entertainment Group plc[3] who are a member of the Tenpin Bowling Proprietors Association (TBPA). The company is headquartered in Cranfield, Bedfordshire.
Operations
Many centres also include amusement arcades with attractions such as Sector 7 laser tag, table tennis, air hockey, pool, soft play, karaoke and escape rooms. Many existing sites were formerly known as Megabowl until they were refurbished and reopened as a Tenpin site under the name Tenpin 10 by 2008.[4] Tenpin carried out a rebranding of all sites during the late 2010s.[5]
Tenpin sites are also used as venues for local and national ten-pin league competitions.
