Tennis – What better way to join in the ace fun being had at SW19, than by joining in with the rally revelry of Wimbledon? Tennis is a wonderful way to spend time with friends and family members.

Target Games – Take aim for the very best in summer sun. Our collection of target games are sure to bring precision to your outdoor play. Whether setting your shot in the back garden or targeting an improved aim during your holiday travels, quoits, target ball, hoopla, kubb and the watery wonder of our tin can alley game, are perfect ways to meet the goal of summer fun.
Badminton – Bring centre court to the backyard, with the tranquil sophistication of a game of early evening badminton. Far from chasing down head raising volleys and panic inducing overhand smashes, badminton is a wonderful way to engage in gentle exercise, whilst making the game of tennis more accessible to new players. So, whether playing with halfcourt kids or front court forefathers, badminton is one of the best summer games to keep the whole family smiling.
Rounders – When it comes to fun, the playground rarely gets things wrong. Rounders has remained one of the most popular school game for years and is the perfect way to while away the long summer days.

Whether stacking giant dominoes, building towering giant Jenga tumble towers, or sliding down the endless slither of our giant snakes and ladders board, our giant games are sure to send spirits soaring high.
Clock Golf – Looking for a hole in one of summer fun? If the golf course seems a fairway away, why not bring the putting pleasure closer to home, by bringing
golf ball glory into your own garden? Line out your putting points with the roman numeral clock numbers and dig a small hole that your ball will hopefully be disappearing down again and again. Whether a beginner or a seasoned pro, Clock Golf is the great equaliser of sand trap skills. So, make summer gaming excitement par for the course and play a mulligan whenever boredom threatens your next shot.
Volleyball – Whether home or abroad, standing upon garden grass or beach sands, volleyball is always a good reason to pull on your swimwear and prepare to tip summer games entertainment over the edge.
