Your invitation to play croquet

Gentle, friendly, and fun — a new way to enjoy our beautiful lawns.

Introducing croquet

We’re excited to introduce Croquet to Bexhill Bowling Club — a fun, sociable lawn game suitable for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re completely new to croquet or looking for a relaxed outdoor pastime, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a try.

Everyone is welcome — members, non-members, beginners, and the simply curious. If you already enjoy bowls, croquet can be a natural and enjoyable extension of lawn-based play.

To help everyone discover the game, we are offering a series of FREE Taster Sessions on our lawns. No experience is needed, and all equipment is provided.

Whether you’re looking for a new pastime or just a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, croquet offers something for everyone.

To register your interest or for more information, please contact us on 07514 608140.
