Lawn bowls is a doable, vitalizing, sociable and mesmerizing sport. It is played nationwide by over 100,000 bowlers within Bowls England's 2000 affiliated clubs. Our friendly clubs are happy to welcome new players, and Bowls England's national programmes such as Bowls Bash and Bowls' Big Weekend mean it's never been easier to try our game. Birmingham 2022 showcased lawn bowls' qualities, and we ar

e delighted England secured a record medal haul at the Games. Bowls England manages the squad which competes in the Commonwealth Games and other international competition. We also deliver a range of National Competitions, culminating in the Aviva National Finals. This event takes place annually at Victoria Park, in Royal Leamington Spa. We welcome comments and feedback, but ask that everyone treats each other with respect on these pages. Offensive or inappropriate comments will not be tolerated, including those directed towards Bowls England and its team. At our discretion, we reserve the right to remove comments or block users.

There's Great News 'In-Store' for Our Bowls Clubs!

We’re huge fans of easyfundraising.org.uk as it’s a great way for our bowls clubs to raise money for equipment, facility hire, overheads and all the other costs that are usually so challenging to fundraise for.

Already, over £9m has been given to sports causes UK wide, simply through supporters shopping online and earning free cashback donations – but in 2026, easyfundraising is on offer in-store at selected retailers, too!

Your bowls club can benefit when your community do their weekly big shop at Tesco, take a trip to John Lewis, indulge in Hotel Chocolat and more...
