🧟 ZOMBIES vs SKELETONS 💀

Got a bone to pick with your fellow ICE members? 👀🦴

We’re heading to Tenpin, Nantgarw for laser tag followed by bowling, and things are about to get frightfully competitive! 🎃🔫🎳

Will the zombies bring the braaains? 🧠 Will the skeletons hold their nerve, or fall to pieces? 💀 Either way, expect terrible puns, questionable aim and plenty of laughs. 😂

Dress up, pick your side and join the Welsh ICE community for a fang-tastic night out! 🧛✨

🎟️ £17.50 for members | £25 for non-members
Both activities included!

Book your place… we’re dying to see you. 🪦👻
