Tenpin Ltd (stylized tenpin, and formerly known as Megabowl and Tenpin 10) is one of the largest ten-pin bowling brands in the United Kingdom, consisting of 53[1] bowling centres ranging from 12 to 36 lanes (depending on the size of the centre), which often have on-site bars serving food and drinks. They are principally located on retail and leisure parks alongside family leisure brands.

The brand was formerly owned by Essenden Ltd,[2] now Ten Entertainment Group plc[3] who are a member of the Tenpin Bowling Proprietors Association (TBPA). The company is headquartered in Cranfield, Bedfordshire.

Operations

Many centres also include amusement arcades with attractions such as Sector 7 laser tag, table tennis, air hockey, pool, soft play, karaoke, escape rooms and escape themed crazy golf. Many existing sites were formerly known as Megabowl until they were refurbished and reopened as a Tenpin site under the name Tenpin 10 by 2008.[4] Tenpin carried out a rebranding of all sites during the late 2010s.[5]

Tenpin sites are also used as venues for local and national ten-pin league competitions.
