About the Clubhouse
The clubhouse is located in a picturesque setting on Wingrave recreation ground. The building, which is owned by the Parish Council, was completely rebuilt in 2026 and is used throughout the year by Wingrave Bowls Club who have played bowls on the adjacent Green since 1925. The clubhouse is available for hire by the community when it is not being used by the Bowls Club.
FACILITIES AVAILABLE
The clubhouse has two rooms available for hire - a large club room with an adjacent disabled toilet and a kitchen. The club room has flexible space for group meetings, and other events and can accommodate up to 25 people. The kitchen is suitable for preparing hot and cold drinks and snacks. Facilities for cooking hot food are not available.
The Club Room and Toilet
The club room has 6 tables and 25 chairs that are normally arranged around the room. We can clear some space on request but the tables and chairs will be left stacked at one end of the room. There are four electric wall heaters, two fire extinguishers and smoke detectors. Two patio doors and windows provide pleasant views of the bowls green and surrounding areas. WI-FI is not available in the building.
A door at the rear of the club room leads to a toilet with facilities for disabled use. Baby changing facilities are not available. A vacuum cleaner is stored in the toilet and is available for use if required.
