Where Gutterball began

Rotary Way in North Shields is where Gutterball started in 2019, and the venue still differs from its Lincoln sibling in practical ways: everything is on one wheelchair-accessible floor, there is parking outside the door, and a kitchen serves food. Alongside the lanes are karaoke booths, digital darts, pool, a mini golf course and an arcade.

Packages start at £13 per person off-peak for bowling plus another game. Weekday sessions begin at 15:00 in term time, or 10:00 in school holidays, and weekends open at 09:00. Families can stay until 21:00, with under-18s accompanied by a responsible adult, after which only over-18s are admitted. Walk-ins are accepted, but booking online is the safer route for a full evening. Meadow Well is the nearest station.
