barefoot bowls + beats + beverages
FINALLY ...the return of Audio Jacks... every Friday in Dec until Christmas!!
Top Auckland DJs augmenting the ever popular barefoot bowling at the iconic Rocky Nook Bowling Club.

$10 pp gets you a relaxed, outdoor Friday evening social where you can join your mates or make some new ones, over great music and lawn bowls in the gorgeous environs of Fowlds Park, Mt Albert.

All bowls equipment provided.

You can also enjoy a foodtruck meal and few wines and local and Irish ales- at sports club prices- from the Irish Club Bar

5 minutes’ walk from Morningside Station- leave the car behind- this is a kid-friendly event and free for under 12's and RNB members.

The main requirement is that any bowlers wear flat soled shoes to protect the greens.

There is no smoking or drinking on the greens. Drinking on the surrounds of the green is fine- especially if it’s our exclusive Jack Attack Pilsner from Urbanaut Brewing.

Proof of full vaccination is also required for entry and maximum of 100 patrons- so apologies if you miss out.
