Shipley Petanque
Watch Shipley Petanque Club in action!
Pétanque, or boules, is a great game for all ages and abilities. It’s very sociable and accessible. We provide the equipment, so it’s easy to come along and join in. We have four pétanque "pistes" so have space for four games to be going on. We hope that our members will enjoy learning a new skill or improving an existing one, gaining mobility and making friendships with a shared interest in common.
We have built four, first class, purpose-built, all-weather Pétanque pistes. These are competition sized and floodlit. We recently planted a privet hedge along the side which encloses the area really nicely. The pistes have wheel chair access, and all ages are welcome. The sessions are relaxed and friendly, with refreshments afterwards.
