Hollywood Bowl XL Cardiff St David’s
Cardiff XL in brief
Twenty lanes and a karting track at St David's
July 2026 saw Hollywood Bowl open its first XL centre, in the Leisure Box at St David's shopping centre, with a launch weekend on 25 and 26 July. Covering about 45,000 sq ft across two floors, it is the chain's second site in Cardiff and its biggest multi-activity centre so far. Bowling takes up 20 lanes fitted with the latest scoring technology.
The headline extra is electric go-karting, a first for the brand, and there are also interactive darts, an arcade, pool tables and live sport in the bar. Every day, the first games start at 10:00. VIP lanes are not confirmed here. A launch offer of two games and a drink for £10 has since disappeared from the venue page, and no bowling deals were listed on 11 Nov 2026.
10:00 opening every day in Cardiff
From Monday to Thursday, the 30 Oct 2026 page listed 09:00 openings; the November timetable starts at 10:00 daily.
