Tenpin celebrating upcoming opening of new branch with a creative competition for primary schools

New entertainment centre Tenpin is celebrating the opening of the new Tenpin Blackpool venue on June 5.

Tenpin is teaming up with street artist Christian Fenn aka Seca One - launching a colourful and creative challenge for local Blackpool school children.

The challenge is aimed at young artists in years five and six, The Big Pin Design Challenge will encourage young people to unleash their creativity by designing their own unique bowling pin.

Entries will be judged on creativity and originality by Christian Fenn aka Seca One, with the winning design produced and displayed at Tenpin Blackpool.

The winner will also receive an exclusive two-hour workshop with the artist for their class, offering the children an introduction to street art, live demonstrations of spray painting techniques and hands-on experience in creating large-scale art.

The impressive new Tenpin site marks an exciting addition to the entertainment venue’s growing portfolio of 58 locations across the UK.

Tenpin aims to create a local hub where families, friends, and groups can enjoy high quality indoor entertainment, whatever the weather.

Laura Barlow, Regional Manager at Tenpin Blackpool, said: “This initiative reflects Tenpin’s commitment to engaging with the local community and supporting creativity among young people.

“We’re incredibly excited to open our doors in Blackpool and can’t wait for everyone to experience and enjoy everything the new venue has to offer.”

Speaking about the collaboration, Christian Fenn aka Seca One, said: “I’m really looking forward to being part of this.

“Street art is all about expression, identity and having a voice, so giving young people the chance to create something and see it brought to life is powerful. It’s a great way to engage young people in creativity and community, and I’m excited to help bring their ideas to life.”
