Lane7 Sheffield is an awesome venue jam-packed full of activities. Step into this bustling urban venue with its industrial design, neon accents and laid back atmosphere, it’s the perfect place for a night out.
There are gorgeous bowling lanes and customised balls (that often change depending on the seasons) to roll beneath the neon decor, you can’t deny they know how to set a mood!
If you think the games stop there, you’re vastly mistaken, with ping pong, darts and American pool. Or if you’re looking to digitize the fun, then why not take a spin in their well-supplied arcade that has everything you need from a pixelated paradise.
Tuck into the best that street food specialist Fat Hippo has to offer, with some of the tastiest burgers you can sink your teeth into. They also have a full bar serving up some wildly creative cocktails.

Roxy Ball Room Sheffield is a circus of incredible indoor activities in an urban venue with party vibes.
And you’ve certainly gotta start with their fantastic duckpin bowling. With shorter lanes, stubby pins and small balls with no holes, this is ten pin’s baby bro. But don’t be fooled, it’s much harder than traditional bowling – which is why you get three balls per go.
Want more to play? There’s ice-free curling, crazy pool, shuffleboard, beer pong, ping pong, American pool, basketball and, the ultimate night out activity, karaoke!
After all that excitement, why not wind down with a freshly-made pizza, or maybe a side of fries or nachos? Don’t forget to wash it all down with one of many of their amazing selections of cocktails. There are feast and welcome drinks available upon request.
Activity cost: £28 – 32 for one hour
