A BOWLING alley in Cwmbran has officially re-opened following a £250,000 refurbishment.

The former Leisure @ Cwmbran centre has been rebranded as a Hollywood Bowl, with a famous face of the silver screen attending the grand re-opening last month.

A Marilyn Monroe lookalike helped to bowl one of the first balls down one of the 20 lanes at the complex.

The site also houses an amusement area and offers dining options, and bar facilities.

Matt Howell, the general manager of the new Hollywood Bowl in Cwmbran, said: “We’re incredibly excited about the transformation that’s taken place over the past month and can’t wait to bring the full Hollywood Bowl experience to both new and existing customers.

“With a brand-new diner, high-tech features and lots of added Hollywood glamour, Cwmbran is a whole new entertainment haven.”

The centre is also recruiting for a number of new roles.
