The tournament begins on Friday (January 10) at Potters Resort, with five world titles will be claimed between now and January 26.

Players from New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, South Africa, Israel and Canada have flown in to take on the best of Britain and Ireland.

The most coveted crown in indoor bowls is the Open Singles - and world number two Greg Harlow is relishing the opportunity to go head-to-head with overseas talent.

He said: "I think the crowd enjoy watching overseas players because they only get a few chances a year to witness them."

Day tickets start from as little as £5 per person per day while a two night world bowls break starts from £219 per person based on standard bungalow accommodation.

The 2020 World Indoor Bowls Championships are organised by the World Bowls Tour and sponsored by Just.
