Blackpool Newton Hall Indoor Bowling Club

Trusted for 11 years

It was in 1985 that the Partington Family decided to turn a building which had been the winter quarters of the Blackpool Tower Circus into an indoor flat-green bowling centre. The circus ring and the stalls for the animals formed the basis of the new centre which was opened in October 1985 and contained five rinks. Facilities including a coffee shop and bar were also provided in the complex.

In 1995 work started on the building of additional rinks to extend the Bowling Centre to seven rinks. This was completed in 1996.Partington's have invested heavily over the years in the bowling centre. Initially purchasing a fully electronic scoreboard and scoring system. This state of the art visual display enables bowlers to clearly see up to the minute match scores. More recently its green bowls carpet was replaced by the famous 'Blue' Pro-Weave carpet as seen at the World Bowls Tour Indoor Championship Rink on television. Newton Hall is only the 4th bowling centre in the U.K. to have had this installed and we're very impressed with the results. Our customers, used to the traditional green for so long have welcomed the change and feel it's a fresh and modern idea.
