ABOUT THE HASTINGS OPEN BOWLS TOURNAMENT

The first open bowls tournament in Hastings was held in the summer of 1911 at the Central Cricket Ground (which is where the Priory Meadow shopping centre stands today) in Queens Road under the title of 'The Hastings & St Leonards Open Bowls and Quoits Tournament'. In just a few years we shall be celebrating our centenary year.

The Hastings Open Bowls Tournament still proves to attract entrants from across the globe and Hastings Open Bowls Tournament Committee members are always pleased to welcome entrants young and old to The Main Bowls Pavilion on competition start day.

The Main Bowls Pavilion is situated in White Rock Gardens and is home to Rosemount and White Rock bowls clubs. It is used as the nerve centre for the Hastings Annual Mixed Open Bowls Tournament which is held during the last two full weeks of August.

The six bowling greens offer panoramic views over the English Channel and are unique to the area in that there are 36 rinks on the one site. The venue is considered by many to be the best and most attractive in the South of England. In addition, the Pavilion has a licensed bar and kitchen which is supported by catering facilities from Clambers Play Centre (near green 2). An aerial view of the gardens can be seen on our history page.

The Hastings Open Bowls Tournament Committee also organises the highly popular end of season Charity Triples event which takes place on the last Sunday in September, marking the closing of the outdoor bowling season.
