About Us
Banbury Cross Indoor Bowls Club is located within Woodgreen Leisure Centre, Woodgreen Ave, Banbury OX16 9LH, and we pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming community for bowlers of all ages and skill levels. The club has six national/county standard rinks and is open for play from September through to April each year, and we participate in various leagues, and organize our own club competitions, and charity matches throughout the winter season.
We also host informal roll-up games every Tuesday 1:15pm to 3:30 , Wednesday, and Friday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. These roll-ups are perfect for improving your skills and playing against different bowlers in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with refreshments available from “The Hub” our club refreshment bar.
We are very excited to be introducing a new, fun and exciting, bowls game "Banbury Super League" click for further information.
Bowling is a great activity for people of all ages, and it has a wide range of health benefits, such as improving fitness, coordination, and skill development. It can also boost confidence, self-esteem, and mental well-being. In addition to all these benefits, it's also a great way to meet new people and have some fun.
