We hold occasional Open Days, usually around early June, when our lawns are open to the public for visitors to try the game. Club players are on hand to guide visitors through the basics, including some friendly games.
OPEN AFTERNOON: Come and try Croquet!
Sunday 8th June 2025 from 2pm
This is a great chance to try the fun and tactical sport of croquet free of charge, with an introduction to the basics from members of Ashby Croquet Club and then have a friendly game or two.
On the croquet lawns at Moira Miners’ Welfare sports ground, Bath Lane, Moira DE12 6BP (opposite Conkers Waterside entrance). Car parking on site.
Join us for all or part of the afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm. All equipment provided. Please wear trainers or flat-soled shoes. Children welcome if accompanied by an adult.
Otherwise just come along to one (or a few) of our normal club sessions from April to October for an introduction to croquet. We will make you welcome, and club players will be pleased to introduce you to the game of Golf Croquet. Our main club session times are: Tuesdays 3 to 6pm; Wednesdays 10am to 1pm; Thursdays 3 to 6pm; Sundays 2 to 5pm.
If you enjoy the introductory sessions and you would like to take croquet a stage further, we have a special half-price club membership rate for new players, which is just £65 for the rest of the year (also includes the popular winter season) including ongoing coaching in golf croquet and/or association croquet as required.
We also organise taster sessions for outside groups (WI, Round Table, etc.)
