The pent-up public demand to seek out entertainment as Covid restrictions lifted has fuelled a boom in leisure pursuits, with cinemas and bowling alleys hitting pre-pandemic highs, while Brighton Pier has recorded the best week in its history.
“It is good to be able to report a new record,” said Anne Ackord, chief executive of the Brighton Pier Group.
Hollywood Bowl’s annual revenues to the end of September hit £75m, well ahead of the company’s previous forecast of £51m.
Hollywood Bowl, the UK’s biggest tenpin bowling operator, said revenues were up 29% on 2019 levels in the period since reopening on 17 May and 30 September.
