The town is home to Achilles Bocholt handball club.

Also, the town is known for its historical event in 1910, when the church tower was lifted off its fundaments and moved 9,40 metres, in order to enlarge the church itself, because of it becoming too small to take in the crowd. Italian Alberto Morglia and American engineer Henry Weiss lead the project between April and September 1910.
