Whitehaven snooker hall plans multi-activity entertainment venue

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

A Whitehaven snooker and pool hall could be converted into a multi-activity indoor entertainment venue with ten-pin bowling lanes if approved.

SK Leisure has applied to Cumberland Council to convert The Rackshack, a snooker and pool hall on Swingpump Lane in Whitehaven, into a multi-activity indoor entertainment venue.

The proposals include ten-pin bowling lanes as the initial main addition to what currently operates at the venue. According to the application statement, future activities could include duckpin bowling, crazy indoor golf, pool and snooker, smart darts, table tennis, a gaming arcade and shuffleboard. The document states the list 'is not exhaustive and other activities could be added as different activities become popular'.

Building changes would include removing the single toilet at the rear of the property and reconfiguring the snooker room. The walls would be taken down and new partition walls installed between columns to create a separate snooker room, though this space could be converted to other uses in future. Large gents and ladies toilets and a disabled toilet on the ground floor would remain.
