Xcel bowl
A community project in Johnstown
Towy Community Church set up and runs Xcel Bowl on Llansteffan Road in Johnstown, and all profits support Carmarthen Foodbank, Community Money Advice and Xcel Furniture, a non-profit furniture recycling centre and community shop behind the alley. A family guide updated in July 2026 counts 12 lanes with computerised scoring and personalised lighting, plus soft play split into zones for ages 0-3 and 4-7, an arcade, pool and air hockey.
From 18:00 to 20:45, Tuesday to Saturday, unlimited bowling costs £15 each for two bowlers, £13 for three and £11 for four or more; the current offer runs from 2 Sept to 30 Nov. Students get 20% off games or timed bowling, and a friendly handicap league charges £10 for three games a week. Bowling runs from 11:00 to 21:00 Tuesday to Saturday and 11:00 to 19:00 on Sunday and Monday.
