Most people would call it boules however the game we all love and play is actually called Pétanque.
The Pétanque Club is open to all, with juniors and non-players welcome. If you haven’t played before, come and give it a go for a couple of sessions (we’ve spare boules) and if you still like it after three visits, please join the club!

For those who want to take it beyond the informal, there is plenty of opportunity to become more seriously involved.
The Pétanque Club provides regular coaching sessions to help members improve their skills, organises internal club events and forms teams to play in friendly and league matches against other clubs. We also arrange overseas trips to play against overseas clubs and join in and experience the culture of the countries visited.
