Real talk

The game that teaches patience, precision, and how to beat your friends.

Croquet isn't just hitting balls through hoops. It's reading the lawn, plotting 3 moves ahead, and the quiet satisfaction of leaving your opponent stranded. The Reigate Set gives you the tools to master it: mallets weighted right, balls that run true, hoops that stay planted.

You'll find yourself thinking about angles days after the game ends. Your kids will ask to play again tomorrow.

While they play

What croquet quietly teaches you

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Precision

Every angle matters. After a few games, you'll spot the line between success and a shot wasted. That eye for detail stays with you.

♟️

Strategy

You can't just smash the ball. You have to think two moves ahead, block your opponent, set up your next frame. Croquet teaches chess thinking on grass.

⚖️

Patience

The game rewards waiting for the right moment. Rushing loses. You learn to watch, plan, and strike when it counts.

🤝

Fair Play

Croquet is self-policed. Honour and honesty matter. Kids and adults both learn the value of playing by the rules, win or lose.

Questions & answers

Questions about the Reigate Croquet Set

How many people can play at once?

The standard game is for 2 to 4 players, and it works best with that number. You can play 1-on-1, or team up in groups. Matches can run 20 minutes for a quick game or an hour for a tournament.

Do I need a perfect lawn?

No. The Reigate Set is designed for real gardens, with grass, bumps, dips, and all. You don't need a bowling green. Your lawn, as it is, will work fine.

How long does a set like this last?

Properly cared for, 20 years or more. Jaques builds these to survive seasons of play. The wood stays true, the mallets hold their weight, and the hoops keep their shape. It's an investment that pays back.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, 1 year on all croquet items. That covers manufacturing faults and defects. Beyond that, the set is built strong enough that it just keeps working.

How much does it cost?

The Reigate Croquet Set is £379.00 today (down from £411.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

What's your returns policy?

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story

Making toys worth keeping since 1795.

Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.

Jaques pioneered croquet in Britain in 1795, and we've been making it the same way ever since: with wood you can trust, weight you can feel, and hoops that stay put. The Reigate represents that legacy. It's not a toy, and it's not disposable. It's a set built for real players, real gardens, and real memories. Your first game won't be your last.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
