At Surbiton Croquet Club we welcome beginners and players of all standards. We want to attract new members and introduce croquet to as many as possible. Our introductory sessions for beginners provide a "no charge" opportunity to have a go. If you would prefer to watch and learn just come along, or select from the Diary a day when we are hosting one of our many high class tournaments. In 2010 we hosted the Home Internationals, The European Golf Croquet Championship and the finals of the international Test Matches. In 2011 we have welcomed players in the British Association Croquet Open Championships and, jointly with The Hurlingham Club, the World Golf Croquet Championship.
Located midway between the Tolworth interchange on the A3 and Surbiton railway station, the Club was founded in 1984 and has grown to become the largest croquet club in the London area with nearly 150 members. In addition to seven first-class lawns, the club's facilities include a car park and a large club house with full catering facilities.
All standards of play are catered for, from absolute beginners to World Champions. The Club runs introductory sessions and internal competitions throughout the season as well as hosting many national tournaments organised by the Croquet Association.We have regular Club days and evenings allowing you to meet other members easily.
A feature of the Club is its busy social life which fills the year. There are quiz nights, monthly lunches and other special events throughout the year. There is even a frostbite tournament with lunch on the 1st of January each year. Our main playing season takes place between March and October but events take place outside those dates – please check out our events calendar
Beginners are most welcome; we run introductory sessions for you to try the game – please contact the Secretary, Mrs Christine Osmond (contact details in the header above), if you would like to know more. Spectators are always welcome at our lawns.
