Crazy golf in a greenhouse

The Secret Garden Crazy Golf Course is full of character. Surrounded by trees, water features and floral displays, it’s a relaxed and cheerful way to build friendly competition among colleagues.

Luxury bowling sessions

Bowling gets a makeover at the Copper Bowl. Think stylish lanes, ambient lighting and plush seating. Add drinks and snacks, and it’s the perfect mix of social and fun.

Private cinema screenings

Hire one of the boutique screens and treat your team to a film or your personalised presentation in comfort. With sofa seating and themed interiors, it’s a great way to wind down or kick off a creative session and increase productivity

Virtual golf challenges

The Master’s Touch Golf Simulators let your team compete on world-famous courses, without leaving Lancashire. It’s all about fun, accuracy and a touch of rivalry.

With food and drink venues throughout the site, The Flower Bowl keeps your day flowing smoothly from one activity to the next. Ideal for teams that want more than a boardroom and buffet.

Why the right setting matters: make an impact with cinema-style presentations

By Cinema, Meetings, Networking

When it comes to delivering a presentation that leaves a lasting impression, the setting can be just as important as the content. At The Flower Bowl, our premium cinema screens offer a unique and memorable space for business presentations, product launches, or team briefings.

Forget tired boardrooms and flat-screen projectors. Step into a stylish, sofa-seated screen where your audience can relax and focus, giving your message the attention it deserves.

A cinematic space that works hard for you

With three private screens named after screen legends Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, and Uma Thurman, each room combines comfort with professional presentation facilities. Whether you’re unveiling a new product or sharing company-wide updates, the cinema offers:

  • Full HD projection and audio
  • Cosy, tiered sofa seating for clear sightlines
  • An intimate setting ideal for focused attention
  • A stylish, memorable backdrop for your brand
  • Ideal for corporate events and team sessions

Hosting your next presentation at The Flower Bowl shows your team, clients, or partners that you’re serious about quality. It’s a chance to make them feel valued while delivering your message with clarity and impact.

Pair your presentation with refreshments, a meal in one of our on-site restaurants, or even some friendly competition on curling ice rink, or on the golf course. It’s everything you need for a well-rounded corporate day out.

Make your message stand out

If you’re planning an event that deserves more than a flipchart and coffee table, consider the cinema experience. It’s not just about what you say, but how you make people feel, and at The Flower Bowl, we help you do both.
