Lawn Bowls has been played at Castle Green Bowling Club for the past 100 years with our club celebrating its centenary last year. You couldn't spend a better day learning to bowl on the green, under the sun, with the band playing in the background.

Castle Green is situated in the castle grounds behind the band stand.
Each year we have opened the green up to the public to 'have a go' at bowling.
During the summer months, there is a hive of activity in the castle grounds with families and children playing, the orchestra band playing from the bandstand, with a lovely atmosphere.
We offer children and adults a chance to have a go at bowls. We will put on bowling targets as well as public practicing 'ends'. We will have bowlers helping at the event. All we ask is flat soled shoes.
We have a first aider on site and defibrillator. We do not have toilets (public toilets are not too far) but we will provide all the bowling equipment. We will not be providing food, however, food vendors are outside the castle grounds.
Pictures of the green from 100 years ago will be displayed around the green.
It was suggested the bowlers dress in Victorian bowling clothing but this may not happen.
