Project Overview
Location: Manchester, UK | Scope: 2-lane residential bowling installation | Completed: 2018 Property Type: Private residence with dedicated leisure space
The Vision
For discerning homeowners, a private bowling lane represents the ultimate leisure amenity. This Manchester client wanted to transform an underutilised space into a bespoke bowling experience where family and friends could create lasting memories in the comfort of their home.
The challenge was designing a 2-lane residential installation that would deliver authentic bowling performance while integrating seamlessly with the home’s luxury aesthetic. The space needed to feel less like a commercial venue and more like an exclusive private club.
The Solution
MJH Events delivered a complete 2-lane residential bowling installation designed specifically for home use. We installed premium synthetic lanes with string pinsetter technology, ensuring reliable performance with minimal maintenance requirements—critical for a residential setting where professional technicians aren’t on-call.
The installation included LED lighting systems that create ambience while providing excellent visibility, custom seating designed to complement the home’s interior, automatic bumpers for family-friendly play, precision ball returns, and complete scoring systems. Working within a residential property requires different sensibilities than commercial installation—our team coordinated carefully with the homeowner’s schedule, maintained impeccable site cleanliness, and ensured perfect integration with the surrounding leisure space.
The Results
The completed installation has transformed this Manchester residence into a true entertainment destination. The 2-lane bowling space serves as the centrepiece of the home’s leisure facilities, hosting everything from children’s birthday parties to adult game nights.
For the homeowners, the installation has delivered exactly what they envisioned: a unique, high-quality amenity that adds substantial value to their property while providing endless entertainment. The string pinsetter technology has proven particularly valuable in a residential setting, offering reliable performance without the complexity and maintenance demands of traditional pinsetters.
This project demonstrates MJH Events’ versatility in adapting commercial bowling expertise to residential applications, where lanes must be showpieces as well as functional entertainment spaces.
