Set to open at the end of May – lockdown rules of pandemic prevention permitting – is a huge new FEC complex Hall U Need, just outside of Lille, France. Hall U Need covers 7,500sq.m and contains a bar-arcade theme with restaurant, a huge range of VR, redemption, pinball, karaoke and other games together with a children’s play area. There is a major tenpin bowling centre in the venue together with other fresh ideas including a business lounge concept where people can bring their laptops or hold meetings. All of these are connected through an Intercard cashless management system. The location is at Saint-André-lez-Lille and will be the second largest leisure centre in France. Now a string of the Hall U Need venues are planned to roll out across the country. (2021/06/07)
