Hollywood Bowl is coming to The Oracle

Get ready, Reading – the countdown is on!

A brand new era of fun is landing at The Oracle as Hollywood Bowl breaks ground on a £4.5 million state-of-the-art family entertainment centre, opening this summer on the Lower Mall by the riverside.

From striking visuals to striking pins, this new arrival is bringing 24 cutting-edge bowling lanes, the latest arcade favourites – including Mario Kart and air hockey – plus a stylish sports bar and all-American diner serving up hot dogs, burgers, shakes and signature cocktails.

Whether you're chasing high scores or just good vibes, this is your new go-to for fun with friends, family nights out, or a post-work hangout.

And with up to 50 local jobs being created, Hollywood Bowl is not just bringing the fun – it’s bringing opportunity too. The team is on the lookout for passionate people ready to kickstart or grow their career in hospitality and entertainment.

Set to become a staple of Reading’s social scene, we’re thrilled to welcome Hollywood Bowl to The Oracle – making our riverside destination even more exciting, day and night.
