A POPULAR bowling centre reopens today after a £400,000 refurbishment.

The Bowlplex at Brighton Marina has been renamed the Hollywood Bowl.

This includes a new Hollywood Diner and American-style bar serving house-speciality cocktails.

There are four new VIP lanes giving visitors the star treatment in a plush roped off area, named after favourite American legends Marilyn Monroe, Han Solo, Audrey Hepburn and Elvis.

The centre’s amusement area now features the latest industry leading games such as Jurassic Park and MOTO GP Bikes.

General manager Gary Richardson said: “We’re incredibly excited. Brighton is the home of leisure entertainment in the UK and as such deserves a world class bowling experience.”
