Isle of Man September Bowling Festival 2026
Since its first tournament back in 1921, the Isle of Man has been a popular destination for thousands of Crown Green Bowlers from all over the British Isles. In the intervening years, the festival has grown from strength to strength to include new and innovative competitions. It is now recognised as the best bowling festival and carries with it the highest prize money of any festival on the bowling calendar.
The Isle of Man Bowling Festivals are uniquely structured in that even if a player loses every game, he or she can play bowls for four days straight!
Details
There are competitions throughout the week for Men, Ladies and Mixed Pairs. In addition, there are both Tourism and Consolation competitions plus, if time allows, a ‘Last Chance Flyer’ competition when all else has failed!
