East Preston And Kingston Bowls Club

Lawn bowls isn't for everyone, but if you've got even a passing interest in the sport, East Preston and Kingston Bowls Club is worth a stop when you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks around Worthing. It's a proper community club - the kind of place where members take their game seriously but won't turn their nose up at a visitor wanting to watch or have a casual chat.

The club itself sits just outside Worthing proper, convenient if you're staying at Brook Lane or Onslow, both within spitting distance. You'll find a well-maintained green, the sort of place where the grass is genuinely cared for and you can actually see why bowlers get obsessive about conditions. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than stuffy, even when there's a match on.

It's not a destination attraction - let's be honest. But if you're planning a quiet week at one of the local caravan sites and fancying something low-key to do of an afternoon, or you're a bowls enthusiast yourself, it's worth popping in. Ring ahead to check playing times and whether they welcome visitors. Worthing's seafront is close by if you need actual entertainment afterwards, and the caravan parks themselves are within easy reach of decent walks along the South Coast.
