Isle of Man Open Crown Green Bowling Festivals 2008
16 - 20 June & 1 - 5 September (Entry forms available for download at the bottom of this page)
The Isle of Man has been a popular destination for thousands of Crown Green Bowlers from all over the United Kingdom for over 83 years, with the first tournament taking place back in 1921.
The Festival has grown from strength to strength over the years to include new and innovative competitions. It is now recognised as the best Festival in the bowling calendar, and carries with it the highest prize money of any Festival.
The Festival is uniquely structured in that even if a player loses every game he or she can play bowls Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Additional competitions offered to visitors throughout the week include Men’s, Ladies and Mixed Pairs, Tourism Competitions, Consolation Competitions and if time allows a ‘Last Chance Flyer’ competition when all else has failed!
