 On a not very wonderful day, weather wise, we opened our 113th. season with the Mayor of Teignmouth, Councillor Ian Palmer, honoring us with bowling the first wood.  Some play was had before the rain drove us off but only in to a wonderful tea laid on by our lovely 'ladies in the kitchen', our heartfelt thanks to them.

We expect to be very busy on our OPEN DAY this year on 20th May from 10.00am and we will look forward to another successful season with an increased membership.


 A little bit of history

The Den Bowling Club in Teignmouth was established in 1910 and has a long tradition of bowls in Devon.  Situated on the seafront, the bowling club is perfectly located for easy access in the town by public transport or car where long term parking is available at the Point and Eastcliff car park.

Located as we are in the sea front in Teignmouth we see and hear some wonderful sights and sounds and sometimes join in ourselves.  For instance when there was a Victorian Day on the Den, our members and the visiting team from Lyme Regis dressed up as Victorians to play bowls.  It was all good fun.  We really are blessed with a wonderful location and receive terrific support from our members.

Bowls is a sport for all ages and is an excellent way of maintaining both physical and mental health.  It is a great opportunity for people looking for local, family-friendly activities and we believe bowls is the perfect fit.


 The club is able to provide all sizes of bowls for you to try but we require players to wear flat soled shoes or trainers. 

We are a friendly club and players of all ages are welcome and we are keen to encourage younger players for the club’s junior section

  Members of the local community who are interested are welcome to try the game for the first time or indeed anyone who once played and wants to return to the elegant game.  We have a well stocked bar and a first class kitchen facility.

In addition to league matches, we have an exciting programe of friendly's this year with a coach trip to play as far afield as Barnstaple and will also be welcoming a number of visiting teams from the region and further afield.

Following a first class Open Day we look forward to even more success in the rest of the season.

We are a mixed club of ladies and men playing members with a wide age range and around 80 associate members and 1 very important Patron.

We have a team in the Men's  'X' division of the Over 55’s league and have won both the Men's  'X' and 'Y' Divisions in recent years.

.
We entertain a number of touring teams during the summer and feel very privileged that they have chosen our club to compete against on their tour. We make them as welcome as possible and ensure the bar is well stocked.

We are very pleased to advise that we have a defribulater within the club for the safety of our visitors and members.

We are also the home of the Teignmouth Open Bowls Tournament. For more information and to enter the Tournament please go to the Tournament page.

We were very pleased to be presented with some art work in the form of a bowler by The Bay Hotel
During the summer months we have a number of visitors to the town who try bowls for their first time and will hopefully return home and contact their local club. We are aware that the impression they get from us will affect their future possible membership.
