Lawn Bowls: What to Look For

On the Fitzroy North end of Brunswick Street, right on the edge of Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy Victoria Bowling & Sports Club keeps a social green open to the public seven days a week. Groups book it for a few hours outdoors with a drink in hand – birthdays, hens and bucks days, work socials and end-of-year parties.

How a booking works here:

Ten synthetic rinks sit directly in front of the clubhouse bar and beer garden.
Sessions run for two hours and start on the hour.
Bowls, the rest of the gear and a short staff demo are covered by the hire fee.
Each rink takes eight to ten people; larger groups take more than one.
Prices start from $20 per person.

The only dress rule is about feet: bare feet, socks or flat-soled shoes, with no heels or spikes on the green.

Once a group passes 12, a private BBQ area comes into the booking – gas BBQ, tables, seating, a heater and marquee cover.
Bring your own food to cook, or order from one of the club's contracted caterers.
Takeaway and delivery aren't allowed, and drinks come from the licensed bar only.
A bar tab can be opened on arrival, with wristbands for guests.

Larger functions

For 60 to 100 guests there is a combined marquee, deck and bar area.
The clubhouse can be part-hired for bigger events.
Nobody eats, drinks or smokes on the green itself.
To lock in a session or function, send an enquiry.
