Hartford Village Hall and Bowls Club
The Bowling Green at Hartford Village Hall on Chester Road
Crown Green Bowls is a fun and engaging sport that benefits players of all ages. The sport provides a low-impact physical workout, resulting in improvements to overall health and fitness. Additionally, the game requires balance, concentration, and precision, which can enhance mental acuity. 

Socially, playing Crown Green Bowls promotes teamwork and communication among players, as well as fostering new friendships within the local community. As a non-contact sport, people of all abilities can participate and compete equally, which increases inclusivity.

Five reasons to play bowls from Bowls England 
 

We believe everybody should realise the joy and benefit of playing sport, and there are so many reasons why bowls is ideally placed to unlock these fantastic advantages. Here are our top 5 reasons to give bowls a try:

1. Playing bowls is very doable. Whatever your physique, bowls is a sport for everybody and it will help improve your fitness levels and mental wellbeing.

2. Bowls is not expensive. To get going you don’t need lots of new kit, and clubs put on taster sessions for free. 

3. After football, bowls has the second highest number of clubs in the country. With so many places to play, it’ll take no time at all to get to a bowls club close to your home.

4. Compared to most sports, age and gender differences have less of an effect on a game of bowls. It’s a perfect sport to spend time and enjoy a bit of friendly competition with your family.

5. Bowls clubs are sociable places full of people looking to have fun.  Relax, make new friends and feel part of your local community.
