Discover Waterfront

In June 2022 The Light opened a 55,000 square foot entertainment space over three floors, including a 7-screen cinema, 10-lane bowling alley, Adventure Climb arena, arcade, karaoke room, interactive darts, mini-golf, American Pool and Diner. The Light is a true reflection of the Council’s ambition to revive the canal-side and will anchor Waterfront’s leisure offer. The Waterfront will also include three further restaurants including PizzaExpress and Nando’s. PizzaExpress opened in late June 2022 and Nando’s is planned to open later this year; all of which will create an amazing new leisure destination in Banbury. Increased parking including increased EV parking space capacity (5%), and improved access have also been provided as part of the development including a new pedestrian bridge over the Oxford Canal.
