Festival of Bowls

With so much uncertainty around events this year, unfortunately there will not be a Festival of Bowls in 2021. Safety of players and spectators is a priority. Save the date - Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls will return in 2022, starting on Sunday 28 August 2022. Further details will follow about the 2022 tournament later on this year.

Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls is the biggest outdoor open bowling event in the country, with more than 1,100 participants competing in men's, ladies and mixed teams for singles, pairs, triples and fours titles over four weeks of play at the Britannia Bowling Greens on Great Yarmouth seafront.

Spectators can really enjoy the event too, with plenty of benches and seating around the arena from which to watch the day's play.

It is recognised that the Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls could not go ahead without the valued financial support received from a number of local and national sponsors. If you are interested in becoming a future sponsor of this event please call 01493 846346.

26 June 2020 - It is with deep regret that we can confirm the passing of our friend, colleague and Festival of Bowls Tournament Manager, Brian Grint. Brian sadly passed away suddenly. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends at this sad time.

Brian worked tirelessly on the Festival of Bowls alongside Derek Webster for many years and took over the role of Tournament Manager in 2019.
