Here at GB Britton Bowls Club, our aim is to provide a welcoming, social environment for members of all ages to experience and enjoy a game of bowls whether in competitive or friendly matches.

Situated just off Ingleside Road, Kingswood on the outskirts of Bristol we have the benefit of a large clubhouse built in 2002/2003, which overlooks the professionally maintained green. Club members and visitors also have access to ample free parking in the club car park.

Apart from playing local fixtures, the club also welcomes touring sides from around the country.

The club is affiliated to Bowls England, The Gloucestershire Bowls Association, The Bristol and District Ladies Bowling League and the City and County of Bristol Bowling Association, allowing our members to compete in local friendly and league matches as well as prestigious county competitions.
