A Cumbrian bowling alley is taking part in a nationwide design competition for one lucky child to be crowned the ‘King Pin’ as part of coronation celebrations.

Hollywood Bowl in Carlisle said the competition will let creativity reign as children across the UK will be invited to bowl over judges by designing a unique royal-themed ten-pin in honour of the king.

The competition has been running since April 28, but people can still take part.

The winner will see their design transformed into a life-size replica ten-pin at their local centre.

They’ll also win a family bowling pass and two runner-up will win a free family day pass.

The competition is open to all children aged six to 12 and requires entrants to submit designs by taking their artwork to their local Hollywood Bowl centre or simply tagging Hollywood Bowl’s social channels into a post which includes an image of their 'King Pin' design. 

Darryl Lewis, chief operating officer at Hollywood Bowl Group, said: “We’re so thrilled to be launching this exciting competition that invites our young bowling fans to celebrate the coronation in a unique way and have creative fun. 

“This is an opportunity to have your very own royally themed ten-pin created and displayed at your local Hollywood Bowl centre, as an emblem that honours the king’s coronation."
