Stephen Burns, chief executive at Hollywood Bowl Group said: ‘Whilst it’s a little later than originally planned, we’re delighted to finally be able to open our centres again in England from August 1.
‘The health and safety of our customers and team remains our priority. Whether it’s to bowl, enjoy the amusement areas, have a bite to eat or something to drink, we want to assure our customers that we are doing everything we can to create a safe and fun experience for families to return to.’
There will be reduced customer capacity at centres and groups will be restricted to a maximum of six people with bowlers asked to arrive slightly ahead of their booking time. Customers may also be required to queue when entering the centre and checking in for their games.
