Teresa and Selwyn Goldsmith
For over 25 years we have held Short Mat Bowls Holidays at Potter’s Resort that have provided thousands of short mat bowlers with very special memories of the great times they have spent with us over those years. It is heartwarming that so many of the bowlers who attend our events from near and far have become firm friends and return year after year to renew their friendships and enjoy their time together on and off the short mats. From northern counties such as North Yorkshire and southern counties like Kent, and all places in between, bowlers return to enjoy the fabulous holiday resort that is Potters and take part in competitions that they know are specially designed for their maximum enjoyment. As I often tell our guests they are holiday tournaments to be enjoyed while experiencing the great resort that Potters at Hopton-on-Sea is with quality dining, entertainment and activities. A bonus is the excellent discounts that booking through our specialist short mat bowls group awards you. Remember – your non-bowling friends and family (adult only, over 18) are also welcome to take advantage of the fabulous reductions that our bowling holidays offer.
We consider ourselves so lucky to have made so many bowling friends over the years who continue to support our events with short mat bowls at their heart. We would love you to join us and be able to make new bowling friends while enjoying the fabulous resort that is Potters! We organize three short mat bowls holidays each year at Potters and all details can be found below.

Dont just take our word for it, here is what our guests say
What a fantastic place Potters at Hopton-on-Sea is, so friendly and meeting so many old friends and making new friends, If you like Short Mat Bowling this is the best place to visit especially when booking your holiday with Teresa & Selwyn Goldsmith’s short mat bowls group. So many great people book their holidays time after time with Teresa and Selwyn, name another couple that ask everyone if they are happy with their accommodation, obviously sometimes things go wrong but be assured that if you have a problem it will be sorted out as soon as possible. So many people have already booked their holidays for next year already and we are looking forward to coming back to Potters next year. There is so much to do and see at Potters so you will never get bored, the shows are like something you would see in the West End of London without the travelling.
