Anyone is welcome to curl with us. Whether you’re an experienced curler or a first-timer, we are a friendly club that can offer you everything from a competitive game as easily to coaching and equipment for the beginner. Below are answers to the most common questions but feel free to get in touch if you have more questions.

Where is the rink?

We play at the only curling rink in England, on Dundale Farm, near Tunbridge Wells, Kent. For more information on the rink itself, please see Fenton’s Rink.

How do I get there?

You can drive or you can take the train and we will pick you up from the station and drop you back at the end of the night. By public transport, take the train to Tonbridge (NOT Tunbridge Wells!), which is 30-40 minutes from London Bridge or Charing Cross stations. We aim to pick people up from the station between 6:30-7pm.

When are the games?

We curl every Tuesday and Wednesday night from October until about April. Games start at 8pm and are 2 hours long.

How much does it cost?

Games are £15/night for people who aren’t members of the South of England Curling Club or £12.50 for members.  There are also options to buy a book of ten games tickets for £110 or to pay £200 for the entire season.  Membership to the club costs £30/year.

Do I need any experience?

No. We are very welcoming to new curlers. Several of our members are trained coaches who can teach you the basics of the game before we start playing. It’s also possible to practice at no extra charge before or after the game.

What can you offer the experienced curler?

Every year we run a competitive league alongside the fun games, which you can join by indicating your interest at the start of the season. We have several long-standing curlers in our club, many of whom have played for several years at the National and European level.

What should I wear?

You will want to wear comfortable, flexible clothing—track suits and fleeces are popular choices. Layers are good as well. Special shoes (£2 to hire) and brooms (free) are available at the rink.

What if I can’t curl on weekday nights?

There is some weekend curling available on certain Saturdays throughout the season.  Get in touch to see when the next Saturday session will take place.
