  • Fresh air and exercise?
    Tournaments can go on for three hours, or more, but with friendlies you first day of the season - casual dress, except for tournaments play for as long as you want. It's walking, mainly, and exercising the arms. It can be the game for formerly active "sporty" men and women who have been missing that competitive buzz.

  • Or looking to succeed in a different sport ?
    Rutger, in 2003 In international play England is the top country for the sport of croquet, yet the club's current top player is Dutch! Rutger - 4th in the World rankings and current New Zealand Open Champion - moved here from Holland to improve his croquet at the Sussex club.

    Croquet is mainly played during the summer months, however his local club at Southwick has all year round facilities. This facility has been supplemented this winter with help from the indoor bowling centre at Hove, where Rutger has been allowed to use their facilities for additional practice.

    The Sussex County Croquet Club eagerly awaits the results of the World Championships in the hope that they can welcome Rutger as World Association Croquet Champion.

    Rutger's words after winning the New Zealand Championships speak volumes for his determination “I’ve always wanted to win the World Championship, and be World Champion. My confidence is good!”

    Rutger is currently looking for sponsorship to continue his quest to be World Champion.

  • Looking for mental stimulation?
    Get your brain working as much as you want. There are several versions of croquet, some are simple to learn and others are more difficult. You decide what you want. Golf croquet is easy to pick up and ideal if you want to be playing in half an hour. If you are fond of Bridge, or Chess, or Snooker, you will probably prefer Association croquet - the game for the thinker!

  • Looking to make new friends?
    we enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine (or two). It's all part of croquet Plenty goes on apart from croquet. There's an active social side to suit everyone. Find out more here.
    If you are the type who likes to lend a hand and get involved there's plenty for you too!

  • And yet it's so affordable!
    You can play every day for about £3.50 pw, less still if you choose to join as a social member. Find out more here.
