WITH the UK’s unpredictable weather, summer always feels far away – but a new weather-proof attraction is soon opening in a popular seaside town.
A multi-activity indoor attraction is set to welcome people in a few months in Blackpool.
Tenpin will feature 24 bowling lanes which can be used for parties, groups and casual play.
But there will also be other activities in the venue, including two karaoke rooms.
For those wanting to burn some steps there will be a laser tag arena too.
And if you like a challenge, there will be three immersive escape rooms to have a go at.

Families visiting with younger children can also use a soft play area and there will be an area for adult visitors as well, with interactive darts and pool tables.
To extend the fun, there will also be a fully equipped arcade.
While enjoying the different activities in the venue, visitors can enjoy a tipple from the cocktail bar and lounge area where live sport will be shown.
Laura Barlow, Regional Manager from Tenpin said: “This is a significant investment in Blackpool’s leisure offering and, most importantly, in its residents.
“We wanted to create a space that families, friends and local groups can use week in and week out.
“Blackpool deserves high-quality, modern entertainment that is accessible all year round, and this venue has been designed to deliver exactly that.”
Construction on the new venue has already started and the attraction will officially open on June 5.
Another new venue will be opening in Wakefield, also with 24 bowling lanes, two karaoke rooms, a laser tag arena, three escape rooms, an arcade area and pool tables.
Tenpin already has 58 sites across the UK.
A game of bowling usually costs around £9.95, when booked in advance, and often different venues have offers on, including ‘Tenpin Tuesdays’ where you can get 50 per cent off bowling and some drinks, and £10 Thursdays where you can get two games of bowling for a tenner.
If heading to Blackpool before June 5, there are plenty of other things you can do.
For example, you could head to Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort, where from April 4 you can head to Twilight Thrills, where the park extends its opening hours until 9pm.
The Twilight Thrills evenings will also have live DJ sets, entertainment and roaming characters.
Between April 10 and 12, there will also be a three-day festival at the seaside attraction called Turn It Up Festival with music by Harry Styles and Sabrina Carpenter among others.
Tenpin isn’t the only project going on in Blackpool either.
The UK’s biggest indoor waterpark – Sandcastle Waterpark – has revealed it is getting a £500,000 renovation.
Inside there will be a new changing area, as well as the slides being repainted.
And the new look will be open in time for the Easter holidays.
In total, the waterpark features 18 slides, as well as wave pools and river rapids.
It is also the perfect place to escape the chilly sea breeze as the pool is heated to 30C year-round.
