Croquet is a game played by 2 or 4 players with 4 balls, 6 hoops and mallets on a large flat grass lawn. There are two main versions: one learnt in 10 minutes and quite an aggressive game, the other is like snooker on grass and takes more time to master. The video below tells you more.

Visitors are welcome. You don’t need anything special to play, just wear trainers or similar footwear to avoid damage to our lawns; we provide everything else.
