The Light Huddersfield
Bowling at Kingsgate's cinema complex
The Light opened in Kingsgate Shopping Centre in spring 2025 as part of the town's Huddersfield Blueprint regeneration: 70,000 sq ft over three floors, a six-screen cinema and 15 activities. Bowling sits alongside skittles, StarQuest laser tag, climbing walls, high ropes, axe throwing, batting cages and karaoke, and a SEGA arcade fills the gaps.
Lanes are hired by time rather than by game: £24 for 40 minutes off-peak, enough for about four players, or £36 for an hour for five or six. Weekend early birds between 09:30 and 11:00 pay £16. Relaxed Bowling sessions lower the sound and dim the lights for guests with autism or sensory needs, and food and drink can be brought straight to the lane. Children under four cannot bowl.
