Lanes on Cowdray Avenue

Cowdray Avenue, a little north of Colchester town centre, is where this 20-lane Tenpin stands, just off the A133 and easy to reach from the A12. Cars park right outside. Tenpin aims it at the whole of north Essex, naming Clacton, Frinton-on-Sea, Braintree, Sudbury and Tiptree, and children get bumpers and ramps.

Online prices are split by type of day. When checked on 11 Nov 2026, a weekday game was £7.80, two cost £12.15 and three £15.60, against £8.65, £17.15 and £24.05 on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the building offers a 4D laser tag arena, two karaoke rooms for groups of up to ten, pool, air hockey and arcade games, and drinks and food are served at the lane, with TNT and Sky sport on the bar screens. The timetable never changes: 10:00 to midnight seven days a week, school holidays included.
