Cardiff city centre is set for a multi-million pound shopping arcade revamp this summer.<\/p>\n
The UK’s largest Hollywood Bowl site, including an electric go-kart track, is set to open in the capital’s St David’s shopping centre.<\/p>\n
It comes as renovations have been announced at the neighbouring Queens Arcade, including three new restaurants and restoration of the frontage on Working Street, according to property development firm Landsec.<\/p>\n
It has submitted proposals for the first phase of the works, and said the plans would create jobs and encourage more people to visit the city centre. <\/p>\n
The new Hollywood Bowl at St David’s will be the 10-pin bowling company’s second location in the city – with an existing site at the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay.<\/p>\n
The firm said it would be the largest in the UK, featuring its first electric go-karting attraction, as well as 20 bowling lanes, interactive darts and a live sports bar.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Landsec, which also owns and operates St David’s shopping centre, said the Queens Arcade development would add to the city’s shopping, food and leisure offer.<\/p>\n
Helen Morgan, centre director, said: “Our exciting new plans for Queens Arcade build on our long-standing investment in Cardiff. Our plans will elevate the site in line with other areas of the city.”<\/p>\n
There is not yet a confirmed date for the opening of the new Hollywood Bowl, but the company has said it would be during summer 2026.<\/p>\n
The first phase of the Queens Arcade redevelopment is awaiting a decision from Cardiff council.<\/p>\n
The company has not yet announced the full list of restaurants or businesses which would move into new units. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardiff city centre is set for a multi-million pound shopping arcade revamp this summer.
