What to do and see in Wellingborough, England: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

September 26, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Wellingborough is a market town and borough in Northamptonshire, England, situated about 11 miles (18 km) from the county town of Northampton. The town is situated on the north side of the River Nene, most of the older town is sited on the flanks of the hills above the river's current flood plain. Due to frequent flooding by the River Nene, the town was mostly built above the current level of the flood plain. Originally named "Wendelingburgh", the settlement was established in the Saxon period and is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name of "Wendelburie". The town was granted a royal market charter in 1201, by King John of England.

Me and my other half escaped all three of the rooms at this branch today (Atlantis, Legend of Drakon and Forsaken). All three rooms were so much fun (and Forsaken was a little bit scary!). Our GMs, Hadley and Beth, were both lovely and made the experience a brilliant one. Would definitely recommend a visit!

AMF Bowling Wellingborough

Reviewed By NightclubManager - Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

Visited with my 2 children. They loved the bowling and all the people who worked there were very helpful - we were shown to our lane, had drinks and food orders taken at, and delivered to the lane as well, and even gave me a tip on how to score that elusive Strike! Amusements area was fab, and worth the money I felt. Could even get change from my contactless card which was great! Thanks everyone
