Bowls England is delighted to publish our latest guidance for Return To Play, following today’s (Monday 10 May) confirmation from the Prime Minister regarding a further easing of restrictions from next week. From Monday 17 May, England will enter Step 3 of the Government’s roadmap, and this is now reflected in our latest guidance.

The main headlines are:

• All restrictions on formats and numbers for organised activity under the jurisdiction of Bowls England will be removed.
• Car sharing will be permitted.
• Indoor hospitality can resume.
• Spectators can return.

Please read our full guidance here, which includes FAQs and full details on the above headlines.

This further easing of restrictions is great news for Bowls’ Big Weekend, due to take place over the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.

This promises to be a showcase for our sport, and the easing of restrictions will hopefully see more people coming to clubs up and down the country.

There’s still time for your club to register their open events here or you can sign up to attend here.
