Todmorden Bowling Greens were established in 1915, expanding later to become a unique four crown green setting in what is now a beautiful people’s park.

After 100 years of being used as a set of club bowling greens under benevolent council care, with recent dramatically increased charges, it became necessary for the three remaining clubs to become an Association. Over a number of years, this new organisation has expanded and diversified to become a popular and thriving club.  Our ambition is to continue and grow our membership.

Many of our new members mainly bowl socially, often developing friendships and meeting new playing partners as part of the club experience, with the option of joining established league teams as enthusiasm and time allow. New members who wish to bowl in teams are recruited to various teams each year.

New members and visitors are primarily welcomed to the Club within the Academy section.  All receive a friendly welcome.  New bowlers are taught the basics to bowl competently as soon as they are able.  Initial sessions are free.  For dates and times of Academy sessions, see the Academy section or follow Todmorden Bowls Academy on Facebook.  Bowls can be loaned for each session.  All are welcome.
