Welcome to the Bath Boules 2025 Bonjour, mes amis!

Bath Boules App

Ah oui, un grand bienvenue to the fantastique Bath Boules!

A massif merci beaucoup to each and every one of you for making this much-loved event possible.

The Bath Boules brings our community closer together for a funfilled boules festival which raises great sums for local charities, over £785,000 to date. The funds are distributed via the Bath Boules Trust each year (see more about how it’s helped multiple causes on P6-8).

Everything from your team place, to raffle tickets, drinks from the bar and food from the stalls on site contribute – so don’t hold back!

We hope you enjoy the four fantastique days of playing, laughing, eating, drinking and fundraising.

The Bath Boules app is back!

This has been developed by notre besties at Digital Wonderlab and Rocketmakers!

The app is essential to use this weekend, keep track of who you’re playing when and how you’re scoring as well as find out key updates throughout the day.

Search Bath Boules on your app platform to download.

We have once again received an overwhelming amount of support from our Sponsors. It’s magnifique to see the local Bath business community come together for this very special event to support local charities.

Our Big Boules Sponsors are: Bath Life, Digital Wonderlab, Emberwood, Francis Hotel, Gadby, The Great Wine Co, Hamptons, Life Media UK and Onfinity and Vio Offices.

Thank you all.

This is such a great and vital institution of our city. It’s truly an event that encapsulates the spirit of Bath. This most French of sports played out in the most English of settings: it’s the perfect way to celebrate summer… and don’t forget, the money raised over this weekend goes to local charities. So, please enjoy having fun while doing good. À votre santé!

04 Bath Boules

Bath Boules history The first boules tournament in Queen Square, Bath took place in the late 1980s as a one-day affair involving independent restaurant staff from across the city.

The brainchild of Jean Pierre Auge of Le Beaujolais Restaurant in Chapel Row and Philip Addis of Great Western Wine Company it was immediately popular, and in just a few years the event had more than doubled in size.

By 1989 the tournament had expanded over two days to include local individuals and businesses with 128 teams competing for the now famous Boules Trophies and the weekend was launched with the infamous party in the square on the Friday evening.

Support came from far and wide and local celebrity Miles Kington of Franglais fame led a team which at various times included Terry Jones, Joanna Lumley and Michael Palin ensuring the annual tournament became a must on Bath’s busy events map.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP

As it continued to go from strength-to-strength Philip and Jean Pierre established a charitable trust to distribute money raised amongst local charities ensuring that much of the money raised through participation and sponsorship was benefitting those most in need in the Bath area.

When the Beaujolais closed after many years and Philip sold Great Western Wine Company, a new era began and the event was licensed by the charity to others to run with profits continuing to be distributed to local causes via the charity.

First up was Portico Designs Bath in 2006 with MediaClash taking over in 2014.

Over the past 30 or so years, not only has money been raised for some terrific causes, a great deal of fun has been had by all. It’s the trustees’ aim that this will continue for many years to come.

Bath Boules & Charity

Baths Leading Signage Company

The Bath Boules is a much-loved local institution, a French game that brings together the people of Bath, the businesses – and of course our charities.

It’s terrific for socialising, with Bath’s finest spending time together in oh-so-gentle competition.

www.freestyledesigns.co.uk

Every year the Bath Boules raises thousands of pounds for local charities which are then distributed to a wide range of local causes.

The charitable objectives of the Bath Boules Trust are to spend locally, selecting Bath-based charities for grants from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand. The final amount raised depends on the generosity of our sponsors, partners and attendees, and how much we are all able to raise through event tickets, raffles, food and drink.

The Rules of Boules TEAMS: To play, a team will require three players, six boules and one jack. The same three players must play throughout one game. Different players may be used for different games but those players may only represent one team.

THE BASICS: Teams take it in turns to throw their boules toward the jack. The aim is to place your boules nearer the jack than your opponents, which may be achieved by either knocking your opponent’s boules away or by ‘nudging the jack’.

ORDER OF PLAY: During a game, players from opposing teams do not play alternately as is sometimes assumed.

A player or team continues to throw until they gain the advantage. It is up to the ‘throwing’ team whether a team member throws all their boules consecutively or they alternate shots within the team.

HOW TO WIN: The winning team scores as many points as it has boules better places than the best boule of the losing team. A new ‘end’ is then started with the jack being thrown by the winners of the previous end. The winners of the previous end must go first. The game is repeated until a team scores nine points. The finals are played to 11.

The winner of each game must give the final score to the leaderboard tent.

TOURNAMENT PROGRESSION: The tournament begins with all teams split into groups. The teams within each group play each other. The top two teams in each group that will qualify for the Round of 16. The winners in each of these games will then go on to the quarter finals.

‘IN PLAY’ AND ‘OUT OF PLAY’: Boules that hit or bounce against the side of the pistes are still in play. If the boules rest on the side of the pistes, they are taken out. If a boule hits or rests against the back sleeper, the boule is out. If the jack ball is knocked out of play, the end must be played again.

TIMING: Please keep to schedule as far as possible. Games should typically last 25 minutes and the organisers may sometimes have to truncate some very slow-running games. and the organisers may sometimes have to truncate some very slow-running games.

Twin towns The official twinning agreement (“le Jumelage” French translation) between the two cities of Bath and Aix-en-Provence in the South of France was signed in 1977 and has remained active ever since.

Although there’s a 1400 kilometer distance between the cities, they have much in common and have shared many cultural exchanges over the years, leading to close friendships and mutual understanding.

Both are ancient Roman cities: Bath Aquae Sulis and Aix Aquae Sextiae, and both feature natural thermal spa waters.

Bath and Aix have become world renowned tourist hotspots, with celebrations and festivals taking place throughout the year.

Our Original AMBER GOLD ALE with a REFRESHINGLY HOPPY Finish

www.abbeyales.co.uk

With Pétanque being a national sport of France, it’s fitting that The Bath-Aix Twinning Association is pleased to be playing a part in the grand Bath Boules Festival.

The Pétanque connection is one of the strongest and longest of the twinning activities, consolidated by many visits to Aix by the Bath Grand Cru Club where les Boulistes de Grande Bretagne are treated as celebrities.

There are many other cultural exchanges happening as part of a very active and busy programme.

For those who’d like to become involved, details of the Bath-Aix Twinning Association are available at the boules office, or from any of the tournament referees over the weekend.

Street Food at the Boules Check out the Boules Street Food stands for a great selection of food and drink. Please make sure that you support them, prodigiously. All present will be donating a proportion of their sales to local charities via the Bath Boules Trust – meaning that every bite, glass or pint will contribute to local Bath charities.

All teams will receive vouchers to exchange at any of these stalls in return for a meal.

Please note: we request that you do not bring your own food and drink, since this deprives the traders of revenue and therefore the Boules and its charities of funding.

Thanks!
