As the weather closes in, and the new outdoor season seems far away, you might like to settle down in a warm living room and watch some bowls on TV.
The World Indoor Bowls Championships will be played at Potters Resort, starting on Fri 10th Jan 2025 through to Sun 26th, and is being streamed on the World Bowls Tour’s YouTube and Facebook channels. The final week will be televised on BBC 2 throughout each day.
