We recently played the Crazy Pool layout at the Roxy Ball Room at the Manchester Arndale Centre on Withy Grove.

The indoor game is an 11-hole course and is a cross between crazy golf and pool.

Played with a pool cue and a golf ball you need to tackle a variety of obstacles on the felt covered tables.

Check out the Roxy Ball Room website for more information.

Putters Crazy Golf at the Urban Playground in the Manchester Arndale Centre

The Urban Playground in the Manchester Arndale Centre is opening soon.

We were in Manchester on Saturday and swung by the new Urban Playground in the Arndale Centre to see if it was open yet.

It wasn't.

It does look like the venue is almost finished though.

The Urban Playground will be home to Putters Crazy Golf - a high-tech minigolf course.

We first took a look at the Urban Playground Mini Golf at the Arndale Centre in Manchester last October.

It'll be a new place to play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Bagatelle at the Hyndburn Heritage Museum in Accrington

Spotting a Bagatelle display at the Hyndburn Heritage Museum in the Accrington Arndale.

We spotted this Bagatelle table on display in the window of the Hyndburn Heritage Museum while walking through the Accrington Arndale.

It's a pretty rare game and not really played much anymore. Most tables are to be found in Chester.

Playing Bagatelle

We've played Bagatelle once before, at the Union Vaults pub in Chester back in 2016.

One of our favourite pub games is Bar Billiards and the rules of that game can appear complicated to a newcomer. Bagatelle is no different in that respect. However, while the cue, table and green baize ball games may also appear to be similar in appearance, looks can be deceiving. 

Visit the Hyndburn Heritage & Community Group website for more information.
