Skittles

Throw a ball on the alley and throw some moves on the dancefloor!!

Throw yourself into the unique Westcounty sport of skittles throwing three balls to knock down as many pins as possible. Join in the atmosphere with team songs as the pins fall. If you have never seen skittles played before but have had a go at Ten Pin bowling then you will have a great time. Only difference is three balls and nine pins and you play as a team. A fantastic pub sport that makes for a great time had by all.

Shoot Out Skittles consists of playing three skittles matches over two days with the top teams playing for prizes in the finals on Sunday. Don't worry its not all about the skittles as you have loads of free time to chill out and relax too.

You can be a team of all men, women or a mix of each! You can be an existing skittles team or have no experience at all!

Teams will consist of 10 people but you can bring more and swap your players in each match. Come as a complete team or come as singles and couples on selected weekends and we will put you together into a team.

Now have a look at all the fab venues to suit you. From the “Big Un's” to the Small and Intimate, the choice is yours.
