Worthing is a great place to watch or play bowls.

Beach House Park in Worthing has been hosting the English Bowling Association Mens National Championships for over 25 years and hosted the Mens World Bowls in 1972 and 1992.   Beach House Park also held the World Bowls Championships for Women in 1977.  In 1977, the singles title was won by New Zealander Elsie Wilkie. Austrlia won the fours, Hong Kong the pairs and the Triples was won by a Welsh trio.  

This long and prestigious connection with Bowls is a clear testament to the quality of the bowling facilities and the relaxing and pleasant surroundings the town has to offer players and spectators.

There are 4 sites in Worthing operated by the Council which have Bowling Greens.

• Beach House Park off Lyndhurst Road (5 Greens)
• Field Place off The Strand/The Boulevard (4 Greens)
• Church House Grounds off Church Road, Tarring (1 Green)
• Marine Gardens off Winchelsea Gardens (1 Green)

Each site accommodates resident clubs who are always interested in attracting new members.

Open days for anyone wishing to learn to play bowls are also run.  Just turn up and have fun learning from the professionals.  Details of future open days will be posted on this exciting sport on this site or contact the clubs themselves.
