The well-known location has announced the signing of Superbowl UK, the family-friendly entertainment centre and Hans Buffet, which has signed to open a buffet concept next door.
Creating a landmark leisure anchor for Basingstoke, the 16,750sq ft Superbowl UK site will launch in summer next year. Superbowl UK will be introducing its wide-ranging collection of leisure activities to 44-49 Queen Anne’s Walk, opposite Festival Place’s Apple store. The concept centres around 10 lanes of bowling, but will also incorporate soft play, interactive darts, Shuffleboard and SEGA Prize Zone, providing a complete array of activities to suit children, families and work events. Superbowl UK will also include an F&B offer, serving classic diner food and a bar with a premium alcoholic range and soft drinks.
Adding further diversity to Festival Place’s casual dining and designed to support the leisure focused visits for the adjacent Superbowl UK, is Hans Buffet. Over 100 dishes from across the globe form an eclectic menu across c.10,000sq ft of restaurant space. Hans Buffet comes from the team behind Bracknell’s Tang’s, itself a fan-favourite buffet concept.
Jack Gordon, Director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, on behalf of Festival Place, commented: “These are two landmark signings for Festival Place that play a big part in the destination’s continued evolution to deliver a more rounded, all-encompassing offer for its visitors. Superbowl UK is well known in the area and will bring families and groups of adults from far and wide, as they look for more interesting and engaging ways to socialise. Hans Buffet has been chosen for the unit next door to work in tandem, providing a new F&B offer that leisure seekers will no doubt want. Following the additions of Slim Chickens, Boswells and Chopstix and retail growth with Rituals, Sostrene Grene and Fig & Fox, Festival Place is moving in a great direction, finding new and exciting ways to inspire visits.”
