Nailsea and District Croquet Club

Nailsea & District Croquet Club was formed in 1981 and is now well-established as a centre of excellence.  There are four full-size lawns that are maintained to a high standard having been levelled in 2017.  The two forms of competitive croquet, Association Croquet and Golf Croquet,  are  played at Nailsea. The Club is frequently used by the Croquet England as a venue for high level events for both codes.  We have a clubhouse with facilities, a carpark, but no internet at present.  The playing season is from the end of March until the end of October.

We welcome new members of any standard of play – from beginner to International level.
For beginners we offer a  two month temporary membership for £20 (£30 for two people signing up together)  The first session will be a hands on introduction to the basic skills of croquet.

This will be followed up by 2 further 90 minute sessions with a coach. Beginners will be able to come up and practise during their two month membership, with the support of one of our members.. These coaching sessions will take place across the season.  If you are interested in joining please click here. Should players wish to continue their membership after this period, the charge for membership in that first season is reduced to take account of the money already paid.

We also have a junior section for children 9 and over.
Croquet is a great sport and it suits a wide range of people. It offers them all fresh air, physical and mental exercise, fun and friendship.  For many, it’s a completely new hobby that might take them to some beautiful places both locally or the other side of the world. Other new players might prefer to stay in Nailsea and enjoy the internal competitions – or just play socially.
