In celebration of Hollywood Bowl's £400,000 refurbishment, the alley hosted a VIP launch event on October 14 to show off the shiny new makeover in glitz and glamour.

After officially unveiling the revamp earlier in the summer, Stevenage's alley bowled over attendees at the popular leisure park venue.

The VIP night saw Marilyn Monroe and guests celebrate in true Hollywood style, complete with bowling and bubbles.
