Welcome to Kings Bowling Club
Kings Bowling Club started life in 1927 as the Princess Gardens Bowling Club. Back then, the club occupied a position on the seafront near 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.
Thanks to our national and international players, Kings B.C. is one of the UK's most successful bowls club. We are proud of our achievements at international, national and county level.
