Fully Inclusive Bowls Breaks
At Potters Resorts, we’re proud to host over 50 Fully Inclusive Bowls Breaks each year, including the prestigious World Indoor Bowls Championships every January. With superb facilities at both of our five star Resorts in Norfolk and Essex, we offer the best bowling experience.
From September to May, many of our Midweek breaks feature free-to-enter tournaments, covering all formats of the game. You can also enjoy unique options like Celebrity Bowls Breaks, Pro Coaching with Andy Thomson MBE, or fun Bowls and Bridge breaks with Eddie & Kathy Williams.
Every break at Potters includes comfortable accommodation, four delicious meals a day, a wide range of activities, West End-quality entertainment, and your drinks, all included in the price.
This exceptional value helped us top in the Which? Readers’ Survey to find the Best UK Holiday Parks & Resorts, and it’s why our guests come back.
