Hollywood Bowl Banbridge announces it is seeking 'Chief Fun Officers’ ahead of its highly anticipated opening at the Boulevard this Autumn.

Attention Banbridge! Hollywood Bowl has launched an exciting opportunity to find a lucky winner and their family to be the ‘Chief Fun Officers’. 

With construction now well underway at The Boulevard in Banbridge, local bowling enthusiasts are invited to be in with the chance to experience everything the new centre has to offer and help make sure it delivers the very best entertainment for the community. 

The winning Chief Fun Officer and their family will dive straight into the action, putting the centre's 21 ten-pin bowling lanes, state-of-the-art amusements, and pool tables through their paces. The fun doesn't stop there - they'll also get to try Hollywood Bowl's famous diner, serving up a mouth-watering menu of American classics including hot dogs, burgers, shakes, and signature cocktails.

As the UK's leading ten-pin bowling and competitive socialising brand, Hollywood Bowl is inviting customers to submit a written entry here explaining why they deserve to be the Chief Fun Officer. Entries must be received by midnight on  24th August 2026, with the winner being selected and contacted by 28th August. Children are welcome to apply with the accompaniment of a parent or guardian, and families can also apply together (maximum 2 adults and 3 children). Entries will be judged on creativity, enthusiasm and personality.

Rachael Hayward, Regional Director for Hollywood Bowl Banbridge said: "The Banbridge community and beyond is at the heart of everything we're doing here, and we want them involved from the very beginning. Making sure we're offering the best possible experience is our top priority - and who better to help us do that than the families and bowling fans we're opening for? We can't wait to see who puts themselves forward to become our Chief Fun Officer!"
