Welcome to the Friary Bowling Club.
The 2024 outdoor bowling season has now finished, and the green is closed for its annual winter maintenance. The green will re-open in mid-April for the 2025 season, and the calendar of events for the year will be published here in the spring.
Our winter Short-Mat Bowling sessions in the clubhouse have now re-started and will continue until the end of March. See our Short-Mat Bowls page for more details.
The Friary Bowling Club is in a delightful setting not far from the city centre. The club was established in the 19th century and welcomes both men and women.
If you would like to join a small, friendly club with plenty of activity why not use our contact page to send us your details. Our membership secretary will be only too pleased to give you more information.
It doesn't matter whether you have never played before or are an experienced bowler, you will be very welcome. Every assistance and encouragement is given to beginners.
For the convenience of members and visitors we have parking permits for use in the surrounding roads. They are available at the clubhouse.
