Tenpin Bowling

WHERE: HOLLYWOOD BOWL, BRIGHTON MARINA

No equipment is needed as all is included in the fee. We have accessed a promotion rate of 2 games + drink for £10 through to end of 2026. When that expires we will see what best rates are available.

You get 4 hours free parking in the marina multi-story carpark and multiple buses go to the marina (1x (but not the number 1), 7, 21, 47, 52) all dropping in front of the bowling complex.

Payment is made to the bowling centre reception on the day but we need to know how many lanes to book SIGNING UP ON OUR WEBSITE EARLY IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

You may wear your own shoes but not recommended are heels or boots. Food and drink is available during the games.

WHEN: EVERY SECOND THURSDAY 7.15 FOR 7.30PM

BLAGSS members can just register their interest in the section below. Non member should email the co-ordinator at bowling@blaggs.uk

WHO: PLAYERS OF ALL STANDARDS WELCOME

Typically around 20 of us turn up for the sessions. We have the complete range of players (scores 50 to 150) so there is always someone who will play like you.  All are welcome and no previous experience is necessary.

Guests are also welcome for any of the sessions - again members just sign up below or email the co-ordinator.

You don't need to be super fit, although anyone with back problems or joint problems like tennis elbow should seek advice from their GP first.

NON BRIGHTON EVENTS

Over 10 of us are going to Eurogames in Cardiff https://cardiffeurogames2027.cymru/ (14-17 July 2027).

For those wanting to bowl in other cities check out Gay City Bowlers (https://gaycitybowlers.com/) with meetings in 12 cities across UK.

COACHING

We have been unable to find local coaches so have teamed up with the East Sussex Ten Pin Bowling Association who kindly have offered support from Crawley. For the £15 p.a. membership of the British Ten Pin Bowling Association (www.btba.org.uk) we will be getting 3/ 4 visits a year but you must be a member to take part.

BUYING EQUIPMENT

Sadly Brighton is poorly served by equipment providers. Our regulars who have bought their own ball have used a shop in Eastbourne called OnThe Ball Pro Shop. https://share.google/d4rtR2I1PlVKqK990

The BLAGSS branded black bowling T-shirts / hoodies were ordered from https://streetshirts.com while the bowling shirts were from https://strikingshirts.eu (the latter are very bespoke so make sure you speak to Mark on 07717 750700 before ordering).
