Tenpin Ipswich is a 20-lane ten pin bowling centre at Martlesham Heath, just outside Ipswich town centre with easy access and nearby retail and leisure facilities. It is a popular family destination for days out, kids bowling parties, casual games with friends and weekend entertainment, offering bowling, table tennis and pool alongside arcade machines, food and drink and a fully licensed bar.
Lanes are designed for all abilities with bumpers and ramps for younger bowlers, interactive lane lighting effects, and regular deals including Tenpin Tuesday (50% off) and Friday Frenzy (20% off). Bowling parties run as a two-hour package including bowling, pizza served on the lanes and unlimited squash. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking online is recommended for lanes and parties. The venue is step-free with accessible toilets and shows TNT & Sky Sports.
Christmas holidays have different hours. Summer deals available.
