Golf, karaoke, and cocktail venue opening in town with ‘nothing quite like it’
The co-owner said they want guests to feels as though they have been “transported to an island”
A venue offering crazy golf with a karaoke and cocktail bar that feels as though you have been “transported to an island” is set to open in a Cambridgeshire town where there is “nothing quite like it”. Starting renovation in December last year, Volcano Valley is due to open on Saturday, April 11, in Wisbech.
The venue will open in the former Frankie & Benny’s unit on Cromwell Leisure Park in Wisbech. Developed by Chris Atkins and Chris Gooderson, the new venue will feature indoor crazy golf, a cocktail bar, karaoke rooms, and SMARTS darts. The venue aims to provide a family-friendly daytime activity and an evening venue for adults.
When it came to choosing a location, co-owner Chris Atkins said: “I just looked at it [the site] and thought this would be absolutely perfect”. He added that this business idea was ideal in Wisbech because “there is nothing quite like it in the area”.
He said: “What we find ourselves is whenever we want to go and do something, we end up having to either drive to Cambridge or Norwich or Peterborough to do it, and I thought, how many other people think the same thing.”
Combined with sand flooring, blue ceilings, a tiki bar with a thatched roof, and the golf course, Chris Atkins said that the “second you walk in we want to make you feel transported off to an island”.
The golf course takes you through three zones starting at the beach, going to the jungle, and finishing off at the volcano area. The course is priced at £8.95 for adults and £5.95 for children. The darts will be £25 for each lane per hour and a private karaoke room for guests to sing their hearts away in will be £25 for the hour.
Volcano Valley will be open from 10am to 6pm on Mondays to Thursdays, 10am to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.
