Prestigious Indoor Bowls tournament returns to Chelmsford
The British Isles Indoor Bowling Championships and International Series will be held at Chelmsford’s Falcon Bowling Club. From 8 to 16 March, the UK’s best Indoor Bowls players will be competing in this annual tournament – and you can be there, with tickets available for just £5 per day!
Falcon Bowling Club chosen by English Indoor Bowling Association
The English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA) invited Falcon Bowling Club to host the British Isles Indoor Bowling Championships, along with the Women's International Series and Men's International Series. The club successfully hosted the same event back in 2019 and is excited to be welcoming the players back.
Matches will be taking place across six playing rinks throughout the tournament and the club offers tiered spectator seating, so everyone will get a great view of the action! You’ll find welcoming members and friendly staff at the club, where you can purchase refreshments from the snack bar, restaurant, and licenced bar.
Councillor Natacha Dudley, Cabinet Member for an Active Chelmsford, says having tournaments of this level choosing to come to Chelmsford is a great achievement for the city:
““Hosting a national tournament is very exciting and we’re thrilled to welcome this prestigious event back to Chelmsford!
