Celebrate dedication and contribution at the Bowls England Awards. Each year, we gather to recognize and honour the outstanding achievements of individuals, clubs, and counties that have made a significant impact on our sport.

Our Awards acknowledge the hard work and commitment that goes into making our sport great. Whether it’s a dedicated coach, an innovative club, an exceptional player, or a ground-breaking initiative, we shine a spotlight on those who elevate the game of bowls.

Bowls England’s annual Awards will return on Saturday 24th February 2024 at Athena, Leicester where awards will be given to those who have an excellent 2023 season and made an impact in our sport!
