Petersham Bowling Club is established in 1896, the Petersham Bowling & Recreation Club (the PBC) is one of the oldest clubs in NSW, with a rich and interesting history. A few years ago the club was snatched from the jaws of property developers intent on building townhouses on the site. Now the PBC is a vibrant, dynamic and creative, poker machine-free community club with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.

The Petersham Bowling Club survives on the work of dedicated volunteers and staff and the patronage of the local community and visitors from all over the place.

People come because the Petersham Bowling Club is a warm and welcoming old club – a bit worn and beaten-up around the edges – but with great food, a family-friendly atmosphere and a growing reputation as a live music venue.

As a multi-purpose facility, the Petersham Bowling Club offers sport, music, the arts, space for functions, a selection of tasty beers and wines, great food and lots of opportunities for fun while protecting the open green space for the next 110+ years.

Come and be a part of it! Bring your mates for a drink and some barefoot bowls. Bring the kids for a play while you listen to some great music on a Sunday afternoon. Come to a gig and support Sydney’s live music scene. Get involved as a volunteer or just come and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcome at the Petersham Bowling Club!
