Withnell Fold Sports and Social Club is located in Withnell Fold, a former mill village, mid way between Chorley and Blackburn.
We play tennis, cricket, bowls and croquet, with teams playing in local leagues and competitions.
Our clubhouse is used for social activities including a monthly quiz night and there are weekly fitness, pilates and yoga classes.
Membership is open to anyone who pays the appropriate membership fee.
The club is run entirely by volunteers from amongst its membership. If you are interested in becoming involved (and we’d love it if you did!) please get in touch.
