Free Taster Sessions

Never played indoor bowls before? No problem! Our free, no-obligation taster session is the perfect way to come along, have a go and see if bowls is for you.

Everything you need is provided, including bowls and the special flat-soled shoes needed to protect the playing surface.

Just wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely — for example, trousers or slacks and a short-sleeved shirt or top. We have male and female changing facilities if you’d like to change when you arrive, and there’s ample parking right next to the club.

Many people come on their own, so don’t worry if you don’t know anyone. One of our friendly coaches will get you fitted with the correct equipment and, after a brief introduction, take you onto the rink to experience indoor bowling for yourself. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment to allow time for this preparation.

You may share the rink with one or two other people, or you may have a rink to yourself. And if you have a friend who’d like to share the experience with you, they’re very welcome too.

Your taster session will last up to an hour. Afterwards, you can sit down with your coach, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and chat about what you’d like to do next.

There’s no pressure and no obligation to continue. If you decide you’d like to take things further, we’ll tell you about our beginner coaching courses.
