Indoor entertainment in Peterborough

Questions parents ask

Do we need to book, or can we turn up?

You can book online, by phone, or walk in if a lane is free, but peak times (Friday and Saturday evenings, school holidays, Christmas party season) sell out, so booking ahead is recommended mid-week is quietest.

Is there anywhere to eat, or should we take a picnic?

There's a café and grill on site serving soft drinks, hot drinks and food, so you don't need to bring a picnic.

Which ages get the most out of it?

Ages 11 and up can throw; under 16s need an adult in the lane with them. The activity suits juniors and teens.

Does it work in bad weather, or is a wet forecast the end of the plan?

It's an indoor activity, so rain won't affect your visit.

What should we bring that people forget?

Flat covered shoes are mandatory — no high heels, sandals, crocs or open-toe shoes due to insurance requirements.

Is Bushfield Leisure Centre easy to manage with younger children?

We haven't confirmed whether buggies are welcome or how buggy-friendly the centre is, so contact them directly about access with a toddler. The centre does have accessible parking bays and an accessible toilet, which may help with young children.

Is there anywhere to eat at Bushfield Leisure Centre?

We haven't confirmed whether there's a café at the centre. You may want to bring a packed lunch or contact them to ask about food facilities before visiting.

What should I know about taking children there in bad weather?

The centre has indoor sports facilities including an 8-court sports hall, squash courts and badminton courts, so activities continue whatever the weather. There are also outdoor courts, so your options depend on which activities you choose.
