Have a Go
We host “Have a Go” social events from mid November to mid February during the summer playing season.
Have a Go sessions are an ideal way for groups and businesses to relax, have fun and experience playing croquet in relaxing surrounds. Events usually last about 4 hours.
We can host from 10 to 50 people who want to have a really great day out and a taste of croquet to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or other events.
Pre-Christmas and summer holidays bookings fill up fast so if you’re considering a December Have a Go please contact us soon to discuss your preferred date(s).
