Xscape Yorkshire, Indoor entertainment complex in Castleford, England
Xscape Yorkshire is an indoor entertainment complex in Castleford with multiple floors containing retail spaces, dining venues, and leisure facilities connected by wide corridors and central atriums. The building houses an indoor ski slope, bowling lanes, a cinema, and various other recreational activities spread across its interconnected levels.
The complex opened in 2003 as part of a regional development project aimed at transforming former industrial areas into modern leisure destinations. This project helped reshape the local economy and regenerate the surrounding area into a contemporary entertainment hub.
The venue brings together skiing, bowling, cinema, and other recreational activities under one roof, reflecting how people in the region now spend their leisure time. Visitors can experience multiple forms of entertainment in a single visit without needing to travel elsewhere.
The complex is open daily with dedicated parking areas and direct bus connections from Leeds, Wakefield, and nearby towns. Visitors should allow time to navigate between activities as the building spans multiple levels and facilities are spread across different areas.
The facility houses England's largest indoor real snow slope, maintained year-round at minus 1.5 degrees Celsius. This allows skiers to practice and train even during seasons when natural snow is unavailable in the region.
