Looking to try something new, meet friendly faces, and enjoy the outdoors? Stone Crown Bowling Club is inviting the community to its Open Day on Sunday 6th April from 11am to 4pm.
A proud tradition in Stone
Established in 1892, the club has a rich history of providing a sociable and welcoming space for bowling enthusiasts. Unlike competitive league clubs, Stone Crown Bowling Club focuses on friendly, non-league play, making it the perfect place to enjoy the sport in a relaxed setting.
Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, the club’s mission is to encourage full community participation in crown green bowling. Set in a picturesque location on the edge of Stone, the clubhouse and green offer stunning views over the town, the Shropshire Hills, and The Wrekin.
A modern clubhouse with a warm welcome
The club’s current facilities, completed in 2008, are located near Little Stoke Cricket Ground and include changing rooms, a function space, kitchen, and accessible toilets. With its own private car park, the clubhouse is not just a hub for bowling but also a great space for social events.
Bowling and social events all year round
April to September (Spring and Summer)
- Social bowling sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoon
- Friday evening social bowling with an optional fish and chip supper (subject to daylight)
- Special events including the club’s annual Barbecue and Bowling Day, President’s Day, Captain’s Day, and Charity Day
October to March (Autumn and Winter)
- Short mat bowling indoors every Monday and Friday afternoon
- Coffee mornings, games sessions, and social evenings
Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or a way to stay active and social, the club offers plenty of opportunities to get involved.
No experience needed
New members are always welcome, whether you’ve bowled before or are picking up a bowl for the first time. The club provides equipment and friendly mentoring to help newcomers get started.
