HOLLYWOOD Bowl has launched a nationwide design competition in celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III.

The company, which has a branch in Taunton, will encourage children aged 6 to 12 years to let their creativity reign as they design a royal-themed ten-pin.

The winner of the 'King Pin' competition will see their design be turned into a life-size replica ten pin, as well as win an annual family bowling pass.

The two runners up will win a free family day pass.

The competition will end on Monday, May 8.

Darryl Lewis, chief operating officer at Hollywood Bowl Group, said: “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."

A design template is available on Hollywood Bowl's website. The final design can be submitted either in person or online.
