Bowl Central Bournemouth (Pins)
Pins and Prizes on Westover Road
Westover Road in Bournemouth is the address of Bowl Central, a venue that brands its bowling area as Pins and pairs it with a cocktail bar and lounge. Beside the lanes, the Prizes side of the venue is an arcade that works on a Game Card; tickets won are stored on the card and never expire. The same operator runs sister venues in Fareham and Reading.
Prices follow three bands, super off-peak, off-peak and peak, so the cost of a game changes through the week. Peak time runs from 16:00 on Friday to 18:00 on Sunday and covers all school holidays, when promotions are also suspended. In term time the lanes open at 12:00 on weekdays and 10:00 at weekends.
