Ready, aim, strike! Bowling combines a laid-back atmosphere with a bit of friendly competition, perfect for any special occasion or just a fun day out with friends. Another big bonus is that there’s almost always a bar at a bowling alley, so you can sink some drinks at the same time, just make sure it doesn’t affect your ball skills too much! You’ll have a great time as you launch the bowling ball down the alley and knock over as many pins as you can. Step up to the mark and show everyone what you’ve got! Will you be crowned kingpin or constantly throw the balls in the gutter? Either way, you’ll have a great time and at least with the latter you’ll get everyone laughing! Up the fun factor and get the banter flowing by assigning each other the silliest nicknames on the scoreboard. What will yours be? For groups who love friendly competition, why not up the ante by writing out some hilarious forfeits for the losers? Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hen party, stag do or any special occasion, injecting some competitive spirit always leads to a great time. Compete to see who can win the most points. Either play solo or team up, the choice is yours. There’s so many places to bowl throughout the UK and Europe, you really are spoilt for choice! Bowling is a great option for a relaxed daytime or evening event. You don’t have to worry about dressing up or the pressure of doing anything too energetic or embarrassing. The focus is always on everyone having a great time and Bowling is a real group pleaser
