Carpet bowling brings the gentle fun of lawn bowling indoors, which means the weather never gets a vote. Played on a long mat, it’s a game of careful aim and a steady roll — and it’s every bit as enjoyable to watch as it is to play.

The pace is unhurried and the game is easy on the body, which makes it a real favourite among our members. There’s no need for any experience; the basics come quickly, and the finer points are happily passed along by those who’ve played a while.

Like all the best games here, it’s as much about the company as the competition. Expect plenty of good-natured rivalry, a fair bit of laughter, and the quiet satisfaction of a well-placed bowl.

Come and give it a roll. Whether you’re keen to compete or just there to enjoy the morning, there’s a spot for you.
