A huge new Crewe leisure development is taking shape ahead of its February 2023 opening - with signs being put up at the site.

Tenpin Ltd is opening a bowling centre inside the former MFA Bowl, Phoenix Leisure Park, Dunwoody Way - with work starting back in mid-September.

Back in July, Cheshire East Council granted Tenpin its premises license for the MFA Bowl unit which closed in 2018.

Tenpin confirmed the bowling centre will also include escape rooms, a laser tag arena, arcade machines and pool tables (Ryan Parker).
