Who knew lawn bowls came in so many different sizes? 👀

From Size 00 through to Size 6, lawn bowls are designed to suit different hand sizes so everyone can find a bowl that feels comfortable and natural to play with. It’s not about strength - it’s all about comfort, confidence and enjoying the game 🙌

That’s what makes bowls such a great social sport… anyone can give it a go!

If you’ve ever been curious about trying lawn bowls, come join our friendly crew for a social roll at Merthyr Bowls Club

⏰ 9am – 12pm
All ages & experience levels welcome

Whether you’ve played for years or have never picked up a bowl before, our members are always happy to show you the ropes. Come down, meet some great people and see what lawn bowls is all about!
