Questions parents ask
Is the Tonbridge set the right size for kids or should I get the adult one
The Tonbridge set is beginner-sized with 30 inch mallets, built specifically for younger players. It is Jaques's smaller, lighter option, so choose this one over a full adult set if children will be the main players.
What age can a child start playing croquet with this set
Jaques lists this set from 6 years and up, with adults playing alongside. The lighter mallets and smaller build make it manageable for younger hands.
How many people can play with one Tonbridge croquet set
It is a 4-player set, with 4 mallets and 4 balls included. That is enough for a full family game outdoors.
What size are the croquet balls in this set
The balls are 75mm in diameter and 8oz in weight. They are sized and weighted for the shorter, lighter Playmate mallets in this set, not swapped from an adult set.
What comes in the box with the Tonbridge croquet set
You get 4 mallets, 4 balls, 6 hoops, a 4 colour winning peg, the official Jaques rule book, and a canvas storage case. Everything needed to set up and play is included, nothing extra to buy.
Does the croquet set come with a bag or case for storage
Yes, it includes a canvas storage case. Mallets, balls, hoops and the peg pack away into it after play.
Is this a good gift for grandchildren or a family garden game
It is designed as a beginner set to get the whole family, including younger players, into croquet together outdoors. The included rule book means no one needs prior experience to start playing.
What is the warranty on Jaques croquet sets
Croquet items carry an extended 1 year warranty. Jaques has been making games since 1795.
