Welcome to Ampthill
Bowls Club
Welcome to the Ampthill Bowls Club website. Here you should be able to find out everything you need to know about the club, and perhaps a little bit more! Bowls is a unique game that can be played by people of any age. It is a very sociable sport that can be both fun and challenging. It is also one of the few sports where a 70 year old can play a competitive game against a 10 year old, without the need for a handicapping system.
Our friendly club, with clubhouse, bar and outdoor patio areas, is set in attractive and tranquil surroundings, accessed through the acclaimed Kings Arms Path Gardens. There surely isn’t a more pleasant spot in Ampthill on a summer’s day or evening.
Whether you are interested in taking up the game of bowls, socially or competitively, or would just like to be a spectator, we look forward to seeing you soon!
We offer several ‘Taster Sessions’ throughout the season, where anybody can come and have-a-go at bowls. These are a great way to find out more about us and for you to see what fun the game can be.
