Tenpin Swindon

Thirty-two lanes off Whitehill Way

Shaw Ridge Leisure Park sits on the western side of Swindon, off Whitehill Way, and its Tenpin is built on a large scale: 32 lanes under dynamic LED lighting, with bumpers and ramps ready for small children. Parking on the leisure park costs nothing, which matters for the visitors the operator expects from Royal Wootton Bassett, Cricklade and Marlborough as well as from the town itself.

The centre stayed open through its June 2023 refit. That work added three Houdini's escape rooms, themed on Alcatraz, a haunted house and the Titanic, plus a pair of private karaoke rooms, a bigger arcade and a reworked bar. Table tennis and pool complete the list, and meals are carried out to the lanes. So many lanes under one roof also means a large group can usually be spread across several of them in a single booking.
