It’s taken a few years but the amazing Entertainment Centre has opened for business in what was the old Garden building.

The Orkney News took some photos as it was under development.

Many thanks to Christie Grahame for the following images.

The Lanes Bowling Alley and Arcade has been developed by local businessman Neil Stevenson and has transformed what was the empty Garden Buildings, aka Scarths, aka Wisebuys, into what we are sure will become a really popular place for all ages.

There’s a Facebook page where you can see the updates : Garden Square Orkney

Opening times for the week ahead:

From Monday 14 July to Sunday 20 July it is open from 12 midday to 8pm.
