Hi. Is bowls for you?

Bowls is just for old people, right? Nope.

It's for professional types. No.

It's expensive to take up. It really isn't.

​

We all have some ideas about things before we've given it a go, so hopefully on this page you will find out that lawn bowls is for you. Anyone, especially you can play it and it is very reasonably priced to take up.

So, read on.

Looking ahead to warmer, lighter days and perhaps with a desire to get more active why not play lawn bowls with us at Elvaston?  There are lots of advantages by taking up bowls. We've shared some benefits of joining Elvaston.

Age is no barrier to this sport. People of all ages can compete and partake successfully with one another and the youngest, from the age of about eleven, and eldest bowlers can play in the same game and have a very close match. FYI the World Indoor Bowls Ladies' runner-up is just 21 years old. Our oldest playing member is in his 90s and is still very competitive!

If you are looking to take up a good, social and enjoyable sport with minimal costs for equipment then bowls will be for you, as well as being very good for your mental and physical  health. Do get in touch with us for more details or if you have any questions not answered here on the website.
