Our Story

Stroud Bowl was originally taken over in 2011 by Kim & Diane Johnson (our owners). They built up our reputation in the bowling industry for being one of the best centres in the UK! They themselves are members of Team England and bowl for our country!

In 2021 their youngest daughter Katie joined the team and put forward the idea to change things up a bit. She put together a plan to inject youth and vibrance back into the bowl. With the help of our Centre Manger Mark and Lane Technician James, our dreams came true and we have managed to give our little bowl a facelift.
