About the Game

Crown green bowls (or crown green) is a code of bowls played outdoors on a grass surface known as a bowling green. The sport’s name is derived from the the uneven nature of the bowling green which is traditionally formed with a raised centre known as the crown. Crown Green Bowls is played in the Midlands and Northern half of England, and North Wales. A game that takes minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.
