A gaming centre offering sports simulators, gaming and karaoke is set to open in Basildon.

Legends, a family entertainment centre, will be opening next to Sprinkles Gelato in unit 8d at Festival Leisure Park.

It will have five private rooms spread across two floors, offering group karaoke, gaming and sports simulators.

Visitors to Legends can sing their hearts out with the centre’s boutique and large karaoke suites, catering from five to 25 guests.

There will be more than 9,000 songs to chose from, as well as fun props.

The competition is set to heat up with Legends' large screen gaming rooms, allowing up to 22 players to game at the same time.

If the competition is on a smaller scale, then Legends' boutique rooms can cater for up to six gamers.

Visitors will have the chance to become the sports hero they’ve always dreamt of with Legends' large range of cutting-edge sports simulators.

Customers can play golf, go racing, go shooting, play tennis, take penalties or free kicks against the best goalkeepers in the world and much more.

Mark Collymore, owner of Legends, commented: “We are very proud and excited to be launching Legends - our brand new family entertainment centre at Festival Leisure Park, in Basildon.

"Legends is a place for customers to play, game and sing to their heart’s content and as well as being a great family entertainment centre, we are ideal for adult parties including work Christmas parties, birthday parties and even hen parties.

"We have a fully licensed bar as well as a full range of barista coffees and hot food.

"Legends really does have something for everybody, it’s definitely not about experts, it’s about fun and escapism and we challenge you not to have a great time.”
