Tenpin Ltd
Tenpin Ltd, branded as simply Tenpin (stylized "tenpin"), is one of the largest tenpin bowling brands in the United Kingdom, consisting of 46[1] bowling centres ranging from 22 to 36 lanes, which often have on-site restaurants and bars. Many centres also include amusement arcades with attractions such as Sector 7 laser tag, table tennis, and air hockey. Bowling can be purchased per game, or as part of a birthday party or corporate event package. Many existing sites were formerly known as Megabowl until around 2008-09.
Lanes with ramps and bumpers for beginners are also available at all venues.
Tenpin is a member of the Tenpin Bowling Proprietors Association (TBPA). Many Tenpin sites are also used as venues for local and national ten-pin league competitions.
