BOWLS 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.

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.
