Junior Croquet Set

For many, the name of Jaques is synonymous with croquet. Though the game had existed in some form or another for many years, it was John Jaques II introduction of the game at the Great Exhibition in 1851 that brought the game the attention it deserved.

The games popularity proved infectious, and it became hugely popular throughout the British Empire in a matter of years - indeed, it was said that "Nothing but tobacco smoke has ever spread so rapidly". For his display at the Exhibition, John Jaques II won a Gold medal and cemented Jaques of London's place in sporting history.



A carefully crafted junior croquet  set, the mallets (at 28 in (71 cm) long) can easily be used by other members of the family, and it is therefore an excellent smaller size junior starter set. The beautifully finished mallets are made from polished hardwood and are excellent quality. The set has Jaques balls which are well balanced and ideal for the younger player. It comes complete with a set of size steel hoops, a four colour wooden winning post, and comprehensive rules. This lovely garden set is presented in a fine quality canvas outdoor carrier with zip, marked with the famous Jaques' logo.
