Welcome to Skipton Devonshire Bowling Club
We are a small and friendly crown green bowling club based in the centre of the glorious market town of Skipton, Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
If you are a complete beginner interested in finding out a bit more about bowls and keen to have a go or a novice bowler hoping to improve your game or an experienced player looking for a new club to represent we would be delighted to hear from you.
Whether you only want to play socially with friends or you are fiercely competitive and keen to play at the highest level possible (or both!), we think we have something to offer everyone.
Our green and facilities are also available for hire, perhaps for your club trip (where better to hold your club competition?) or for your company team away day.
