Ledbury Bowling Club was founded in 1927 and is situated near the bottom end of Bank Crescent.  From those early days it has now become not only one of the top clubs in Herefordshire but offers bowling to all ages and to players of all abilities.  The Club has its own clubhouse and holds social events throughout the year. 

During the season, which is from Mid-April to September, there are more than 40 friendly games played at home or away against teams mainly from around the Three Counties.  In these games complete beginners can easily take part whilst learning the game of Bowls and developing their skills.  Also internal competitions are held each year in which all can participate. A number of league teams are run and players can enter County and National Competitions as individuals or in pairs, triples or fours.

 In 2013 we were announced as the regional winner for the West Region in the Bowls England Club of the Year Competition.    Tony Allcock, MBE, Chief Executive of Bowls England at the time said “The standard and number of entries was exceptional this year, but these four clubs each stood out within their area for the work they are doing to promote the sport of bowls within their local area and increase membership”

Over the years we have had great success at the various competitions.  In 2015 our young member Tom Holmes won the U18 Sutton Winson National Singles Competition at Leamington Spa and in 2016 he went on to Win the British Isles U18 Singles Title held in Llandrindod Wells.     2016 was also the year that Dan Holmes and Mike Ricketts reached the Final at the Nationals of the Men’s Pairs competition.    Dan went on to reach the final stages again with his Dad, Mike in 2019.   In 2017 our members Phil Middleton, Mark Atkins, Tom Holmes and Ryan Atkins won the Men's National Fours Competition at Leamington.

The Club would like to extend a warm welcome to bowlers of all capabilities.   In the beginning novices can borrow a set of bowls so all that is needed is a pair of flat shoes.  More seasoned players could soon find out where they best fit in and could soon be participating in County and National events.
