Star Pins

The first Star Pins, in West Orchards

December 2024 brought the first Star Pins to Coventry. The brand belongs to Professionals at Play, the company previously called Roxy Leisure, which chose an upper floor of West Orchards Shopping Centre for a 32,000 sq ft venue reached by a customer lift. A venue-hire listing puts the count at 13 tenpin lanes plus four lanes of ice-free curling.

Shuffleboard, tech darts, mini golf, ping pong, American pool and a virtual shooting range spread around the bowling, and the large arcade takes walk-ins without a booking. The menu runs to pizza, chicken, nachos, fries and hot dogs, finished with ice cream or pick n mix, and the bar has draught beer and cocktails. Off-peak, an adult game costs £9 and under-16s or students pay £6. On weekdays before 18:00 and on Sunday evenings outside holidays, a second game was being offered at half price.
