Bowls England Celebration Match at SLBC
July 25th 2025 was a very special day for the club as we hosted a team from Bowls England for a Celebration Match for our 125th anniversary. A closely fought match on the green was followed by an enjoyable opportunity to eat, drink and spend time with bowlers from all over England. We would like to thank everyone who made this possible – and the Bowls England bowlers for making it such a memorable occasion!

Hiring a rink for ‘barefoot bowls’
We welcome those who wish to hire a rink or two this summer to have a roll up or game with friends. Often called ‘barefoot bowls’ – we’d rather like you to wear flat soled shoes – but it is a great way to spend a summer afternoon or evening!
We can offer rinks on most Wednesday or Friday evenings when we are open for club nights from around 6pm. We can also offer rinks on some weekday afternoons by arrangement. Our bar will be open and you can enjoy a drink while playing. We are fully booked on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
If you are interested, please use our contact form to check and make a booking.
