Duckpin at Walkergate
Anyone expecting full-size ten-pin at Lane7 Durham should know that the lanes here are duckpin, a variant played with smaller pins and smaller balls. The bar occupies 6B-6C Walkergate, and the games list beyond duckpin covers darts, pool, mini golf, karaoke and an arcade, with live DJs on busier nights.
Up to seven people can share a lane, which keeps a mid-sized group together; Lane7 does not publish how many lanes Durham has. Duckpin is priced from £9.50 per person, and pairing it with one other game through the Game Changer offer starts at £13 off-peak. In term time the bar opens at 15:00 from Monday to Thursday and at noon on Friday, so weekday visits are mostly evening affairs, while Saturday and Sunday start in the late morning.
