About

Eastbourne Bowling Club are always delighted to welcome day visitors and touring sides who have not been to them before.

Eastbourne Bowling Club is a flourishing private outdoor flat green bowls club with a long and proud tradition. Originally known as Saffrons Bowling Club, it was founded on June 11, 1897 by 23 members of Eastbourne Cricket Club. The bowls club moved to its new greens in 1909, and a year later became affiliated to the newly formed English Bowling Association. In 1920, it changed its name to its present one. In 1994, 96 years after the club's founding, membership was given a considerable boost with the admission of women. Saffron Ladies was formed and incorporated that year.

As one of the leading clubs in East Sussex, they host EBA and county events every year and their two greens (12 rinks) are maintained to the highest standard. Their car park is large enough to accommodate a coach and up to 40 cars.
