Bowling for All

A fun indoor bowling group for disabled adults. A new fixture at Glebelands in Finchley, every Sunday at 2.30pm.

This relaxed and friendly indoor bowls group is designed for adults with disabilities, visual impairment, or long-term health conditions, offering a supportive and social way to enjoy sport. Friends, family and carers are welcome to bowl too, and the first session is free – so there’s nothing to lose.
• The club is fully accessible, with free parking, step-free access via a ramp, and specially adapted walkers and wheelchairs available for use on the green. Still need some reassurance? You can discuss your access requirements in advance, just get in touch.
• Indoor bowls provides gentle exercise, helping to improve balance, flexibility, concentration and overall wellbeing, while the strong social side supports mental health, resilience and community spirit. Glebelands believes in sport for all and accessibility for all.
• If you decide to become a member, players of all abilities can bowl at any time, but this dedicated Sunday session creates a shared space where everyone can exchange experiences, learn from each other, and enjoy a cup of tea together.
• Sessions are fully inclusive and tailored to participants’ needs. You’ll meet current club members, and coaches are on hand to support, including specialist Visual Impairment coaching.
• Many coaches and players have lived experience of disability, including sight impairment, stroke and Parkinson’s—so you’ll be bowling with people who truly understand – so it is never too late to give it a try.
