A sport for everyone
Croquet is a sport that can be played by anyone regardless of age, gender, background or identity.
So whether you are an expert or have never played before, why not gather up your whole family (grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren) and come to our open day on Easter Monday?
The club provides all the necessary equipment, however flat soled shoes/trainers must be worn to protect the lawns.
