Stewarton Bowling Club has proudly served the local community in Stewarton, East Ayrshire for over a century, fostering a friendly and inclusive environment for lawn bowls enthusiasts of all ages since 1861.
Visitors are always welcome! You can:
- Drop by when we're open and speak to a committee member.
- Attend one of our open days or social events.
- Contact us to arrange a visit.
At the moment, we only have one membership available, which is:
Full Membership – This provides access to all club facilities and competitions.
We are really fortunate as a club currently to have a high number of active members and therefore we do not offer a Social Membership (non-playing) option at this time.
Up to date membership pricing information and how to apply can be found on our Membership & Benefits page.
We’re conveniently located at 1A Dunlop Street just a couple of minutes walk from Stewarton Train Station. Local buses also stop nearby - please check with your bus operator for more details.
If you're driving, our post code for the sat nav or directions is KA3 5AT.
