Lawn bowls is a precision sport where players roll biased bowls towards a smaller white ball called the "jack." The goal is to get your bowls closer to the jack than your opponent’s.

Absolutely not. We welcome complete beginners as well as occasional players and experienced competitors. Even Sir Francis Drake was a beginner once!

Yes! Lawn bowls is suitable for all ages and abilities. Many clubs offer coaching for beginners, and there are options for people with disabilities.

All we ask is that you wear a pair of flat-soled trainers or bowling shoes. We can lend you a set of bowls to get you started and dress is casual. If you are playing in a competitive match, the code is a white shirt with grey or white trousers/skirt.
