A brand new interactive bowling alley and arcade has opened in the Printworks
This looks mint.
There’s a brand new one-stop-shop for all your entertainment needs now open in the Printworks.
Tenpin is taking over the Hard Rock Casino unit in the Printworks and will span over two floors. Guests can expect new interactive bowling lanes that even have high-speed infrared cameras to detect movement and project graphics onto the lane.
There will be a massive 12 lanes of bowling plus a state-of-the-art arcade, as well as Table Tennis, American Pool tables, Beer Pong, Shuffleboard tables and a Karaoke room.
There’s a totally new look that will give you old-school entertainment vibes, something Tenpin has never done before.
There will also be an American style eatery, making the space a one-stop-shop for food and drink. Plus – you’ll be pleased to hear there will also be two bars serving up a delicious array of cocktails.
You can feast on the likes of burgers, hot dogs & sharers and you can even get it all straight to the lane with the on-lane service.
Paul Grayson, GM of the new venue, said: “We’re really pleased to finally be able to reveal our incredible new Manchester venue to the city.
“We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to build something that Manchester will love and the team have created an incredible space where guests can drink, eat and play all under one roof.
“We’re excited to be the first Tenpin venue to have all interactive lanes, and we’ve also added Beer Pong, Shuffleboard tables and a Karaoke room to our range of entertainment options for the first time too. We want every person who visits us to feel like they could lose a whole day in here!”
The Manchester site will be Tenpins first new venue this year, and is expected to create more than thirty new jobs in Manchester.
To ensure Covid-compliance, guests can only attend in groups of six people from one social bubble. There will also only be eight bowling lanes open at first to give each group plenty of room to bowl.
Each lane will be completely sanitised after a customer finishes their game, so you can rest easy knowing the area will be nice and clean before your game.
And for the fashionistas who love bowling shoes – you’ll have to wait a little longer to get your toes inside them again. Wear your own shoes (no heels or wedges or open toes!) for now.
Following the rules, unless you are drinking or eating a face mask must be worn at all times.
Tenpin is open now with prices for a game of bowling, food and drink coming in at just £15pp, and a game of bowling and a drink just £9pp.

P!NK is kicking-off her world tour in Bolton next week
P!NK will bring her tour to Greater Manchester next week
Pop star P!NK is set to kick-off her world tour starting in Bolton next week.
The 43-year-old superstar will embark on her Summer Carnival World Tour next week at the University of Bolton Stadium on Wednesday and Thursday, June 7th and 8th.
The popular American singer-songwriter will take to the stage — in her upcoming eighth concert tour — for the two days as she performs some of her well-known hits and best loved tracks, including songs from her latest album, Trustfall.
The six-pack sporting musician, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, posted an image of herself suspended in the air, while practising some kind of aerial arts, on Instagram last week to give fans a taste of what’s to come.
Alongside the image she wrote: “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
The quote was taken from the 19th-century American philosopher and poet Henry Thoreau. One excited fan wrote: “Can’t wait to see u in Berlin!! I’m flying from Barcelona.”
Another one-upped them and said: “Can’t wait to see her in Germany!!! flying from NY to Barcelona then to Germany!!” A third fan added: “Can’t wait to see you in July…this will be so fantastic.”
The concerts will be held in the open air, with doors opening from 4.30pm and music due to start at 5.30pm – 11pm on both days.
P!NK will be supported by special guests at the concerts including Kidcutup, Gayle and The Script.
The council has issued advice for parking and traffic management with extensive traffic restrictions in place due to concertgoers travelling by different forms of transport such as car, coaches, public transport, taxis and also by foot.

DJ Fat Tony coming to Selfridges for Q&A about new ‘outrageous’ memoir
He hung out with Leigh Bowery and Andy Warhol, and created his drag persona, before becoming DJ to the stars
DJ Fat Tony is coming to Selfridges, Manchester this week to do a Q&A about his new ‘outrageous’ memoir, I Don’t Take Requests.
Join one of the most controversial DJs to ever grace the UK party scene along with his co-author Michael Hennegan in conversation, as they celebrate the paperback release of I Don’t Take Requests.
The live discussion with the DJ, about his life and memoir, will take place on Friday, May 26th 6-8pm. Tickets cost £10 and guests will receive a free paperback copy of his new release as well as the chance to enjoy a live DJ set.
Throughout his life and career, the DJ has grappled with addiction, a HIV diagnosis and various career challenges.
Harrowing, honest, and funny, I Don’t Take Requests is the ‘candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes’.
It’s a story of ‘getting it all and losing it all’. Addiction, recovery, and starting again. Drawing a vivid portrait of Britain’s street culture from the 1980s to the noughties.
DJ Fat Tony describes his childhood on a London estate where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man, and became best friends with Boy George.
He spent his teenage years parading the Kings Road in his latest (mostly stolen) clobber, worked as a receptionist at a brothel, hung out with Leigh Bowery and Andy Warhol, and created his drag persona, before becoming DJ to the stars (including Prince and Madonna) and spiralling into a life threatening drug addiction.
Now 16 years sober he has enjoyed a renaissance in life, becoming one of fashion’s favourite DJs. He does this whilst being a leading voice on the sobriety scene and an LGBTQ activist.
Tickets cost £10 and include a copy of I Don’t Take Requests, a Q&A panel discussion, as well as a live DJ set.

Fri 26th May, 2023 6:00pm – 8:00pm. Men’s Level 1, Selfridges, 1 Exchange Sq, Central, Manchester M3 1BD.
