Tenpin Manchester Printworks

What you can play

Bowling is the main event, with 14 lanes and up to six players per lane. Two private karaoke rooms each take up to ten singers, interactive darts offers nine different games for groups, and pool, table tennis and arcade machines fill the gaps between turns. Lanes take up to six players, so larger groups can book several side by side and play against each other.

Food, drink and sport

A fully licensed bar serves food and drinks straight to your lane, and live sport plays on screens. That makes it a practical choice for a group night out or a party where not everyone wants to bowl. Interactive darts runs in 30-minute sessions and suits groups of around six. Live sport on TNT Sports and Sky Sports makes it a fallback for watching a match.

Timing your visit

Under-18s are not allowed in after 7pm, and Challenge 25 applies from then, so families should go earlier in the day. Booking online is advised for evenings, weekends and school holidays. Cathedral Gardens and the National Football Museum are a couple of minutes away for a daytime pairing. Manchester Victoria, Shudehill and the Northern Quarter are all close, so getting home late is straightforward.
