Social Bowls

We want everyone to play bowls and at busy times we will help fill rinks by assisting people to find a game where rink capacity allows.

A social game of bowls is a wonderful way to enjoy quality time with friends or colleagues in a relaxed setting. With a fully stocked bar and coffee shop right by the rink, you can enjoy a drink or a coffee to complement an hour or two of bowling.

To play social bowls, all you need is a pair of flat-soled indoor or gym shoes—and you’re ready to go!

Playing social bowls at Leicester Indoor Bowls on Slater Street offers a perfect blend of relaxation and mild exercise, making it an ideal activity for people of all ages and fitness levels. This low-impact game encourages gentle physical movement, which helps with balance, coordination, and flexibility—all important aspects of maintaining health as we age. Beyond the physical benefits, social bowls provides a unique opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and unwind, making it a great way to relieve stress in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

In addition to promoting physical well-being, social bowls fosters a strong sense of community and camaraderie. Whether you’re playing with long-time friends or new acquaintances, the shared experience of a friendly game encourages social connection and conversation. This welcoming environment makes it easy to meet new people, and it’s especially popular among groups looking for a refreshing, inclusive way to spend time together. At Leicester Indoor Bowls, the fully stocked bar and coffee shop add an extra layer of enjoyment, allowing players to relax with a drink or snack after their game—turning an afternoon of bowls into a memorable social outing.
