Opening on Friday 27 November, Loop brings together cinema, social games, live entertainment, food and drink and flexible workspace under one roof, creating a place to meet, eat, play, work and enjoy time together.

Cinema remains at the heart of Loop, continuing to offer the big-screen experience that local audiences know and love, alongside a host of new experiences that give people even more reasons to visit.

Whether it's catching the latest film, meeting friends for a game, enjoying something to eat, getting some work done or staying into the evening for live entertainment and drinks, Loop offers plenty of ways to make the most of your time.

With recruitment now complete and the new team in place, preparations are entering their final stages ahead of opening.

A day out, your way

At the heart of Loop is a choice of 11 different social and interactive entertainment experiences. From bowling, golf simulators, interactive darts and karaoke to shuffleboard, pool, interactive shooting and batting cages, there are plenty of ways to bring people together.

Whether planning a family visit, a night out with friends or a team get-together, there are experiences to suit different ages, interests and occasions.

Comedy, live events and more

Comedy takes centre stage at Loop, with two special comedy nights on 28 November and 19 December, featuring familiar faces from TV, film and the UK comedy circuit. Bringing established comedy talent to Ashford, these are set to be great nights out, with bookings now open at loopashford.com/live/events.

There's plenty more in the events calendar too, from quiz nights, speed dating and Bandeoke to a festive Jazz Brunch and a Polar Express Pyjama Party. To round off the year, Loop will host a New Year's Eve Gala Evening featuring a screening of West Side Story, bringing a touch of cinema glamour to the celebrations.

Alongside the entertainment, Loop will offer a varied programme of fitness, wellbeing and dance classes, including Zumba, Cardio HIIT, Pilates and Salsa, providing opportunities to get active, try something new and meet new people.

Eat, drink and stay a little longer

Food and drink will be central to the Loop experience, with an exciting new menu featuring burgers, pizzas, tacos, sharing dishes and more.

The venue’s impressive bar will offer a wide selection of wines, beers, cocktails and mocktails, alongside other drinks to suit every occasion. Whether stopping by for a drink, enjoying food between activities or making an evening of it, Loop is designed to make it easy to spend more time together.

Make it a Christmas party to remember

With the festive season fast approaching, Loop is also set to become a new destination for Christmas celebrations.

Bringing together games, food and drink in one venue, it offers a different kind of festive get-together for friends, families, colleagues and businesses. From competitive games and shared food to drinks at the bar, Loop provides everything needed to bring people together for a Christmas celebration.

Group bookings are now open, with a range of packages and experiences available to suit different occasions and group sizes.

There’s so much to look forward to, from the range of games and live events to the new food and drink offer. Whether people come in for an hour or spend the whole day with us, we want them to have a great experience and leave already looking forward to their next visit. We can’t wait to welcome everyone in and show them what Loop has to offer.”
