The Hut
Bowling at a council community centre
This is not a commercial bowling centre. The Hut is a community leisure centre run by Wakefield Council on Kershaw Avenue in Airedale, Castleford, and its facilities list puts a bowling alley alongside exercise classes, a sports hall, all-weather and 3G pitches, an outdoor games area, a roller disco, pool tables and meeting rooms. Resident clubs and groups use the building, and there is a free car park and wi-fi.
The council does not publish how many lanes there are, what bowling costs or when the alley is open to the public; it asks visitors to ring the centre on 01977 722777 for activity times. The building itself opens from 08:00 to 21:00, Monday to Friday, while Saturday activities have to be checked directly with the centre. Rooms can also be hired for meetings and conferences, which is how the council presents The Hut on its website.
