Shepshed Town Bowls Club

In the evenings to play bowls. In 1906, the two greens were combined to create Shepshed Town Bowls Club.

Over the years, the club has grown and developed, with a strong focus on both competitive and friendly bowling. The club actively participates in various competitions throughout the season, while also promoting friendly games against local teams to encourage less competitive bowlers to join in the sport. The club takes pride in providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for both newcomers and experienced bowlers. They have a qualified coach who is available to offer guidance and support to all members.

One of the club's standout features is its bowling green, which is widely recognised as one of the best in the county. This well-maintained green provides an excellent playing surface for members to enjoy their games.

Beyond the bowling aspect, Shepshed Town Bowls Club also places a strong emphasis on social activities. Members often gather together after games, and during the closed season, the club organises monthly quiz nights that are open to both members and non-members. These quiz nights have become a popular event within the community.

In addition, the club organises Friday night “Chummy Nights” during the summer, which provides members with an opportunity for social bowling and refreshments. These nights are a great way for members to relax and enjoy the company of fellow bowlers.

In 2015, the club underwent extensive renovations to enhance its clubhouse facilities. The improvements include a new bar, kitchen, and a designated accessible toilet for disabled guests and visitors. The clubhouse is available for hire by the public, allowing the club to maintain its connexion with the wider community.
