Families are being invited to explore one of Brentwood's 'hidden gems'. 

Brentwood Bowling Club will be hosting a summer open day from 10am on August 1. 

The club based in King George's Playing Fields is renowned for its picturesque setting and quaint pavilion building overlooking two bowling greens.

Visitors will be able to tour the facilities, try their hand at the quintessential English pastime of lawn bowling, and enjoy refreshments in the pavilion.

All equipment will be provided for anyone wanting to try bowling but they are asked to take along flat-soled shoes or slippers to prevent damage to the greens.
