We believe that bowling is not just a sport, but also a social activity that brings people together. That's why we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.
Our refurbished clubhouse will boast state-of-the-art facilities, including modern bar and social club to enhance your bowling experience. (Opening in May 2025)
We want to offer various programs for bowlers of all ages and skill levels, including youth & adult leagues, and coaching sessions, to help you improve your game.
Hopton Bowls Club has a long and distinguished history and was formed in 1923. Originally based at the Commercial Inn located in the High Street, it faced an uncertain future in 1990 with the closure of the pub. However, a very determined nucleus of players decided that they were not going to let the club go under, so much so that they all contributed £1000 each into a rescue fund.
In a very short space of time the new site was obtained with the help of a sympathetic landowner, and the ‘can do’ members laid out the new green and built the clubhouse, with the club moving onto the site in September 1992.
