About Bowls Club Insurance
Bowls club insurance for greens, clubhouses and community activity
Bowls club insurance is designed for lawn bowls clubs, bowling greens, community clubs and sports venues where members, visitors and volunteers use club facilities for regular play, competitions, social events and community activity.
The insurance conversation is broader than a simple sports club policy because a bowls club may combine green maintenance, clubhouse premises, volunteer committees, bar or catering activity, member equipment, public access, tournaments, events and business interruption after damage to key facilities.

Common Bowls Club Insurance Questions
Bowls Club Insurance FAQs
These common questions help explain how bowls club insurance is usually approached, what affects cover structure and what insurers usually ask about.
Bowls clubs usually review public liability, employers' liability where staff are employed, clubhouse and contents cover, equipment insurance, management liability and business interruption.
Public liability is usually central because members, visitors, competitors and event guests may use the green, clubhouse and surrounding areas.
Clubhouses, contents and declared site assets can often be covered, while green and grounds exposure should be explained clearly to insurers.
Many clubs review management liability or trustee/committee cover where decisions are made by volunteers or a small leadership group.
They can be considered, but open days, competitions, social events and third-party hire should be disclosed because they can change footfall and risk.
If the club employs staff in the UK, employers' liability insurance is usually legally required.
