The Festival Leisure Park is Basildon's biggest leisure and entertainment destination, on Cranes Farm Road (the A1235) at Pipps Hill, about a mile north of the town centre.

Cinema

The park's cinema, now operated by Cineworld (previously an Empire cinema), is a large multi-screen venue showing the latest releases.

Restaurants

The park has a wide choice of restaurants and fast food, with brands including Nando's, Five Guys, TGI Fridays, Pizza Express, Bella Italia and McDonald's among the line-up — food from around the world in one place.

Bowling, entertainment and hotels

Alongside the cinema and restaurants, the park has a bowling and arcade centre, family entertainment, health clubs, a bar, and two hotels — including a Premier Inn — making it easy to combine a meal, a film and a night's stay.

Getting there

The park is just off the A127 and A1235, with a large free car park. It is about a mile from Basildon town centre and railway station.
