Situated in the heart of Grange Park, Wetherby Bowls Club offers a warm and welcoming environment for players of all ages and abilities. With two fantastic greens - a traditional Crown Green and a Flat Green, both measuring 40 metres square - we cater to all types of bowlers, whether you're looking for a friendly game or something more competitive.
A stunning location in the heart of Wetherby
One of the things that makes Wetherby Bowls Club so special is its location. Nestled within Grange Park, we share this beautiful setting with other sports such as rugby, football, and paddle tennis. It’s a peaceful and scenic place, perfect for unwinding after a busy day, enjoying a bit of fresh air, and, of course, playing bowls!
When you step onto our greens, you’ll immediately feel the sense of tranquillity that Grange Park offers. The well-maintained lawns, the gentle rustle of trees, and the sound of birds singing in the background create an idyllic setting for a game. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a few rabbits frolicking nearby - though we’d rather they stayed off our greens!
Bowls is a game for everyone...
One of the great things about bowls is that it’s a sport for all ages and abilities. Whether you're looking for a low-impact way to stay active, a new hobby to take up in retirement, or simply a fun way to spend time with friends, bowls is an excellent choice.
Playing bowls helps with:
Fitness and mobility – It’s a gentle sport that keeps you moving without putting too much strain on your joints.
Balance and coordination – The skill of delivering a bowl with precision improves stability and agility.
Mental wellbeing – The friendly, social atmosphere is great for lifting your mood and reducing stress.
At Wetherby Bowls Club, we welcome beginners with open arms. If you’ve never played before, don’t worry. We have experienced members who are more than happy to show you the ropes. The club provides bowls for newcomers to try out, so all you need to bring is yourself and a pair of flat-soled shoes.
A social hub in the community
Wetherby Bowls Club is about more than just bowls - it’s a thriving social hub where friendships are made, laughter is shared, and memories are created. Whether you’re joining us for a casual roll-up session or a competitive match, you’ll always find a friendly face and a warm welcome.
After a game, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a cuppa (or something stronger!) on the veranda. On summer evenings, with a glass of wine or a pint in hand, you can listen to the birds singing and soak up the peaceful surroundings. And did we mention cake? Yes, sometimes we even bake. It’s these little things that make Wetherby Bowls Club such a special place to be.
We also hold regular social events throughout the year, including quiz nights, BBQs, and themed evenings. These events are a great way to get to know other members and enjoy the friendly atmosphere that makes our club so unique.
