Kings Bowling Club
Kings Bowling Club was originally formed in 1927 as the Princess Gardens Bowling Club. The club, back then, occupied a position on the seafront near to where the Princess Theatre stands today. In the 1930’s the Club moved to its present home in the King's Gardens, from which it took its name. Are there any other clubs that have changed gender?
Thanks to our national and international players, Kings BC is one of the UK's most successful bowls club. We are proud of, and humbled by, our achievements at the international, country and county level.
Play Bowls at Kings
Whether you are a member, an away team, or a touring team, you are always welcome at Kings Bowling Club. Our traditional clubhouse offers stunning views across Torbay. Sitting on our veranda with a cup of tea, or a cold one, whilst gazing out to sea is a great way to relax after you win, lose or draw.
