Crown Green Bowling Club

A Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC 00841)

About Crown Green Bowling

Crown green bowling is a traditional outdoor sport played predominantly in Northern England. Unlike flat green bowling, our greens have a natural convex surface, adding an extra dimension of skill and strategy to every game.

The Luneside & Rosebank Club

Our bowling club has one of the best greens in the area and is located near Lancaster city centre and the train station. We hold regular social bowling events as well as competing in the local leagues.

We also have a full-size snooker table, a darts board and table tennis table. As well as bowling, we hold regular social events and provide companionship and a community spirit.

Whether you're a seasoned player or completely new to the sport, you'll find a home here at Luneside & Rosebank. Our members range from competitive league players to social bowlers who simply enjoy the camaraderie of the game.
