Intu has launched a new £72 million leisure extension at Intu Lakeside.

The extension will span 225,000 square feet and will feature a Puttshack, Hollywood Bowl and Flipout.  Nikelodeon will also join the line-up in the autumn.

There will be a food hall operated by Market Halls, as well as a host of restaurants including Chiktopia and Casco Lounge.

“It has been created to ensure intu Lakeside remains one of the country’s most popular retail and leisure destinations for many years to come and we have curated a fantastic of mix of flourishing leisure and dining brands to guarantee its success.”
