Indoor and outdoor bowling is a great way to meet people and socialise. You can enter our HAT fun league games at any level, or just come along and play. Why not come along to one of our many outdoor greens during the summer months enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and a little healthy competition.

The great thing about bowling is that it’s a nice relaxed pace of play that allows you to socialise as well as taking part in an enjoyable sport.

If you want to improve your game adult coaching sessions and rink hire are also available at Portobello Indoor Bowls and Leisure Centre in the winter and in at our outdoor greens during the summer months.
