Abbeyview Bowling Club

If you want a game of bowls, or a room to hire, in Abbeyview, this is the local club to know about. Abbeyview Bowling Club sits in the centre of the neighbourhood (KY11 4HA). Fife Council lists the bowling greens here, and the club’s own site is the place for how to get in touch and what’s on.

The club was established in 1967, according to its history page. There’s still an outdoor green, and in October 2003 the club completed an indoor hall with eight international-size rinks. The same page describes a 120-seater glass-fronted lounge and an 80-seater lounge open to the playing area, with a café, bar and restaurant in the lounges. Qualified coaches are offered to schools, community groups and new members — worth asking about if you’re starting out, or if you’ve got young people who’d like to try it.

Function rooms can be hired when they’re not needed for club events, including for weddings, funerals and training, though the club says it doesn’t take bookings for 18th or 21st birthday parties. Café and lunch times are published on the club site and can change, so check before you go. The secretary’s details and the club telephone are on the official pages; Fife Council’s facility page is also a useful starting point.
