Intro to Bowls’ Big Weekend amongst sessions on offer in January’s Week of Learning

13th January, 2025

One of the top priorities is to increase participation in lawn bowls by making the sport more accessible. Bowls’ Big Weekend, sponsored by Aviva, is our coordinated national recruitment campaign, giving people across the country the opportunity to play the sport for free in a relaxed, informal setting.

In 2025, Bowls’ Big Weekend will run from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th May, when affiliated clubs across the country will open their doors to enable new participants to discover everything that is great about our sociable, accessible sport.

Ready to bring people through your club’s entrance? The dedicated Bowls’ Big Weekend session is perfect for clubs – designed to kickstart and elevate your experience at one of the most exciting events in the bowls calendar. The session focus will be to understand from clubs directly as to what are the brilliant basics to creating a memorable Bowls’ Big Weekend event.

January’s Week of Learning takes place across Monday 20th – Friday 24th January. Other sessions on offer include Marketing Strategies, Club Health Checker and Safeguarding.

These informative webinars are free of charge and accessible to any club affiliated with Bowls England. If your club is not currently affiliated, we recommend contacting us to explore how you can affiliate and access the valuable resources.
