What it’s like
A community bowls club where kids can have a go at bowls or table tennis on the green.
This one's about as low-key as a day out gets. Bowls on the green, table tennis if that's more their speed, and not much else to distract them, which is either a relief or a disappointment depending on your kids. There's no age limit listed, so a toddler tagging along won't get turned away, though bowls itself probably makes more sense once they're old enough to understand which way the jack's rolled.
It's a proper community club rather than a big attraction, so don't go expecting frills. There's on-site food and toilets, which covers the basics for an afternoon, but past that the site doesn't say much about what else is on offer. That's fine if you're after something simple and outdoorsy without a big production around it.
Table tennis is the bit that'll probably keep older kids interested longer than the bowls itself. If you've got a mix of ages, that's handy. It won't fill a whole day, but for an hour or two of something different from the usual soft play run it does the job.
