Phoenix Bowl marked a major milestone on Tuesday 4th August, celebrating 25 years at the heart of the Milford Haven community.
The celebrations took place at 12:00pm on Tuesday 4th August 2026, exactly 25 years to the minute since Phoenix Bowl first opened its doors to the public at 12:00pm on 4th August 2001.
Staff, supporters and invited guests gathered to reflect on a quarter of a century of family fun, community spirit and unforgettable memories.
The occasion was made even more special with the attendance of Graham Dalton, the man who founded Phoenix Bowl 25 years ago, alongside Andrew Brown, the venue's number one supporter, who has been there since day one. Together with the current team, they celebrated the remarkable journey of a business that has become a cornerstone of family entertainment in Pembrokeshire.
Over the past 25 years, Phoenix Bowl has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors through its doors, becoming a destination for birthday parties, family days out, school visits, corporate events and community activities. The venue has continued to evolve, with recent investments including interactive darts, upgraded facilities and ongoing improvements designed to enhance the customer experience.
To mark the milestone, visitors enjoyed a special 25th Birthday Offer, with one hour of bowling for just £25 per lane, a saving of £15, alongside complimentary birthday cake and cupcakes for guests throughout the day.
A special thank you goes to The Old Rectory Cakehouse for creating the fantastic birthday cake and delicious cupcakes, which proved hugely popular with visitors and helped make the celebrations even more memorable.
Toby Ellis, Director at Phoenix Bowl, said:
"To celebrate exactly 25 years since Phoenix Bowl first opened its doors at midday on 4th August 2001 was a very special moment for everyone involved.
"It was wonderful to have Graham with us, the man who made it all possible, alongside Andrew Brown, who has supported Phoenix Bowl from the very beginning. We're incredibly proud to be carrying on Graham's legacy and continuing to invest in the venue for future generations.
"Phoenix Bowl has always been about bringing people together and creating lasting memories. We'd like to thank everyone who has visited us, supported us and been part of our journey over the last 25 years. Here's to the next 25."
As Phoenix Bowl enters its next chapter, the team remains committed to investing in the venue, expanding its entertainment offering and continuing to provide a welcoming destination for local residents and visitors alike.
Today, Phoenix Bowl offers ten-pin bowling, interactive darts, a children's soft play centre, an amusement arcade, freshly prepared food and drinks, birthday parties, corporate events and group bookings, welcoming thousands of visitors each year from across Pembrokeshire and beyond.
