Based inside Thornaby Pavilion is a regulation sized, indoor bowls facility with an excellent lounge area for those who prefer to watch rather than play! Home to a variety of leagues suitable for all abilities, including specialised equipment for those who need it, this indoor bowls facility provides an accessible and welcoming space for seasoned pros or complete beginners.
Thornaby Indoor Bowls Club encourages people of all abilities to participate in the game of indoor bowls. The club can provide specialised equipment to enable everyone to play bowls.
