Having had an impressive makeover this summer, this bowling, karaoke, and entertainment space has quickly become a favourite for Harlow locals of all ages.

Let’s start with the bowling. Tenpin has 14 lanes, all with new screens and lighting systems – (neon nightclub vibes are go) so win or lose, you’ll be doing it in disco style. Everything is bright, spangly and modern, with all the tech to determine who really is the king (or queen) of the pins… The beauty of this venue is that because of its glam decor, it caters to any event day or night, from birthdays and family outings to a spontaneous date night or girls’ night out – all would blend right in here.

Not having any luck with the pins? Tenpin has a myriad of games on offer that don’t need to be booked in advance. There’s pool tables, air hockey, and arcade games, both retro and modern – to keep all ages entertained and add that competitive edge to your night out.

Throw some cocktails into the mix and now you’re really talking – the cocktail menu includes staples like mojitos, pina coladas, and daiquiris, or contemporary classics like espresso martinis and whisky sours, plus no and low alcohol options, so no one misses out (‘cuddles on the beach’ and ‘nojitos’ – so cute).

Head to Tenpin Harlow’s karaoke room, large enough for up to 10 people and with a whopping 6,000 tunes to choose from (that’s your first excuse gone). It costs from £20 for 30 minutes so at that price, it’s easy to bolt onto another activity and you don’t need to commit to a whole night of crooning (though, trust me, they’ll be tearing you away from that microphone).

To keep you going through all this fun stuff, there’s a crowd-pleasing food menu that has all bowling/diner classics. Expect burgers (beef, chicken and veg), hot dogs, stone-baked pizzas, nachos, wings, and that retro classic – curly fries, plus a kid-friendly menu too. Kids parties are a big hit here too with meal and activity deals, plus there are themed discount nights throughout the week. What are you waiting for?
