A game for all ages!
​
INDOOR CARPET BOWLS
Indoor carpet bowls is played in village halls and community centres up and down the country. It is played on a 30 x 6 ft carpet and involves a jack placed 3 – 6 ft from the end of the mat and an 18 inch central block placed equal distance from the carpet ends.
WHY IS THE SPORT SO POPULAR?
Indoor carpet bowls is a smaller version of indoor bowls and is very much a community activity played by seniors, men, women and children. The bowls are much smaller and lighter than indoor bowls and there is less of a distance to bowl. This makes it a game of skill rather than strength and can be played by people of all ages and abilities including wheelchair users. As it is a scaled down version of indoor bowls, it is easier to play in areas where space is more restricted. It is portable, too, and the mats can just be rolled up and stored away when finished.
