The Venue Bude
Six lanes in a Bude family centre
Stucley Road in Bude is home to The Venue, which bills itself as North Cornwall's largest indoor family fun zone. Six ten-pin lanes are one part of it, set beside four levels of soft play, a big arcade and amusement area and a fully licensed bar. Animated scoreboards and disco lights liven up the lanes, while ramps and gutter rails help small children and hesitant bowlers.
Food is brought to the lanes. Booking works online for ordinary visits, but groups and school trips are asked to phone 01288 355366 so that lanes can be set aside for them. Each extra game costs less than the one before: one game is £7 (adult) or £5.50 (child), while three come to £16.20 or £13.20. Friday and Saturday give the latest bowling of the week.
