Dundrum Town Centre in Dublin is to get a new bowling alley, along with additional entertainment and leisure attractions.

Lane7, which is described as a "boutique bowling brand", is to open at the south county out of town shopping centre in December.

It will be taking 14,500 sq ft of space and along with bowling will offer augmented darts, floor shuffle, curling, ping pong, pool and dedicated karaoke booths.

The facility will be located in the Pembroke Square area of the complex, where a range of restaurants and other leisure facilities are situated.

Below Lane7 will be a new Chinese restaurant, Roncheng, which will open in the final three months of the year, as well as Lovisa, a specialist Australian jewellery brand aimed at a younger demographic.

Another jeweller, Dylan Oaks, will also be located nearby.

Hammerson, which owns Dundrum Town Centre, said it was another important milestone for the centre, as it repositions its assets to include new social concepts.

"Last year was significant for our Irish portfolio," said Connor Owens, Managing Director, Asset Management (Ireland) at Hammerson.

"Virtual reality concept Zero Latency opened at Swords Pavilions, expanding the asset's use and proposition, while at Dundrum we repurposed over 200,000 sq ft to introduce the first ever Nike Live in Ireland, a new flagship Penneys, and Dunnes Stores, which in turn pushed footfall up 3.3% year on year."

"Lane7 is strategically positioned on Pembroke Square – a carefully curated outdoor space where we can unlock further value and create one of Dublin’s most vibrant lifestyle destinations."
