Bowls’ Big Weekend is returning for its fifth year and is set to be the biggest yet with a record-breaking 800 plus clubs signed up to take part, including clubs in Somerset.
-
Taking place from May 23-26, the annual national event is designed to introduce more people to the sport of bowls, with clubs nationwide opening their doors for the bank holiday weekend, offering free taster sessions available to all ages and abilities. The weekend creates a welcoming atmosphere for returning players or those totally new to the game, but also offers a great, free day out for families.
Bowls’ Big Weekend is organised by Bowls England, in partnership with Aviva, and is aiming to introduce 20,000 new people to the sport this year.
Bowls’ Big Weekend has become a staple event in the bowls’ calendar, with 129 of the clubs having signed up every year so far, with this year set to be bigger than ever. Since the introduction of Bowls’ Big Weekend, more than 60,000 people have registered with their local clubs to take part.
