The Lichfield Crown Green Bowling Club has long established roots in the city, apparently being formed in the 1840s and being known as the Swan Bowling Club as long ago as 1922.
Membership included many prominent Lichfield businessmen. The Swan bowling green was positioned in Bird Street adjacent to the Swan Hotel and part of that green is still in existence.
The club is based in the heart of Lichfield in Beacon Park. It plays on the park’s premier crown green and uses the new, adjoining Discovery Hub building as its club house, providing excellent meeting, kitchen and toilet facilities. There are good spectator facilities and Beacon Park provides great parking facilities.
The club offers a great friendly, relaxed club atmosphere for our membership, with regular Inter-Club matches, along with social events. The club membership has a wide age range – from teenagers to seniors. Bowling is available most days, for all age groups and all abilities – male and female.
Club teams play in the Lichfield & District Bowls League, Cannock & District Bowls League and Lichfield Over 50s League. The club is also affiliated to the Staffordshire Crown Green Bowling Association.
If you are thinking of joining or getting started with crown green bowls, then why not come and try the facilities before joining, during the bowling season which runs form April to September. We really do welcome new members and ensure that they feel comfortable and “at home” immediately.
