The wait is finally over, a brand new leisure experience is opening in Kent this week.

The Light - part of the new Spirit of Sittingbourne transformation - is home to a state-of-the-art eight screen cinema, nine-lane luxury bowl, retro arcade, and a street food dining experience, and it opens on Friday, May 28.

Their diner boasts three resident street-food style vendors, where you can expect the best handmade pizzas from Fratellis; mouth-watering burgers, hotdogs, sliders, and sides from Pittsburger, plus top-quality coffees and tempting desserts including waffles, ice cream, and milkshakes from Coffee Cabana.

There’s also a bar serving everything from locally-brewed craft ale from Faversham's Mad Cat Brewery to expertly crafted cocktails from in-house mixologists.

Kick back and enjoy your food at The Light’s all-American style diner with a loaded jukebox, or cosy up in the Treehouse, a perfect place to escape after a busy day.

There’s also plenty of seating in their main dining area too, and a range of games and toys for younger visitors.

The eight-screen cinema - opening with an amazing line-up of movies including Peter Rabbit 2, Nomadland, The Father, and Cruella - includes state-of-the-art screens, sound, and seating, with reclining armchairs, plush electric recliners, and full-length lounger beds. Their recliners can even be turned into Love Seats too by lifting the centre arm, letting you snuggle up.

For more active visitors there's also a nine-lane bowling alley and retro arcade, including classic games like Mario Kart, NBA Hoops, and Terminator.

The bowling lanes can be booked by time so you can enjoy the experience with one of their delicious food and drink bundles served during your game.

The Light loves events and there will always be something going on, whether it’s live music and DJ nights or quizzes, kids' activities, and film nights. You can even use their space for a meeting or event.
