Thornfield Indoor Bowls Club

The address of our indoor venue is Rugby Thornfield Indoor Bowls Club, Bruce Williams Way, Rugby CV22 5LZ.

Please use the leisure centre car park and then walk down to the Bowls Club. It is free to park.

There are toilets inside the Bowls Club.

The hall itself is a function room inside the bowls club. There will be members of the bowls club playing bowls as you enter. Please be quiet and respectful as you enter the premises.

When you first enter the Bowls Club, please walk through the double doors, turn right into the main bowling area. The function room is a little on the way down on the left hand side just after the bar.

The hall is small and there is not room to have people setting up their equipment while others shoot. Please set up and break down your kit in the area outside the hall. At this time, please keep the noise and chatter down to avoid disrupting the bowls players.
