Welcome to St Francis Bowls
St Francis Bowls Club is situated in pleasant surroundings in the grounds of the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, with the old St Francis Hospital (now Southdown Park) to the North overlooking the green.
The club is part of the St Francis Sports and Social Club and membership is open to the general public. As members we are able to use all the Social and Sports Club facilities, including a bar, which provides light meals and entertainment. We also have our own rink side clubhouse.
Our outdoor grass rink, is looked after by a small group of dedicated members. Due to their care and attention to detail, the rink must rank with the best in the county for the quality of bowling surface.
St Francis Bowls Club is open to all. Currently the membership is about 50, which is large enough to be able to provide teams to play in many competitions, but at the same time, small enough to allow plenty of rink space for members use. Despite our fairly small size, we have had considerable success in external competitions, both individually, and in team events.
​
During the season, the club holds a number of social events when members can get together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
