Visit Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls
Bowlers from across the UK are heading to the Visit Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls ahead of its start on Sunday, August 24.
This year’s festival, the 78th edition, promises to be the biggest and most exciting yet, with competitors of all skill levels – from amateurs to seasoned professionals. Bowlers have the opportunity to showcase their talent and compete against some of the finest players in the sport, all while enjoying the camaraderie and community spirit the festival is renowned for.
Tournaments taking place include men’s, ladies and mixed teams competing for singles, pairs, triples and fours titles. Each winner receives a trophy, as do some runners up. Winners and runners up also receive prize money.
The bowls festival, which runs until Saturday, September 20, is only able to go ahead thanks to generous funding and support from Visit Great Yarmouth along with sponsorship from Wentworth Holidays, Global Signs and Engraving, The Prom Hotel, Jack and Bowl, Town and Country Counselling, Staffing Innovations, Parker Hydraulics & Pneumatics Ltd, Shemara Beach Refreshments and Thompsons Food Service Ltd.
