Quoits - Garden Quoits Set - Premium Quality with Bag Premium Quality with Bag (3+ Years)

This is Jaques' Family range, built using the same 215 years of quoits expertise but priced more affordably than their other garden quoits models. It still uses solid wood and heavy duty natural rope rather than cheaper substitutes. If you want an entry point into Jaques quoits without paying for their top tier garden range, this is the one designed for that. The scoring base and rope quoits work the same way regardless of range.

Jaques lists this set from 3 years old right through to adults, so it genuinely spans a family. Quoits also helps children practise basic addition, since each point on the base has a different value and players add up their score after every throw. Younger children can play a simplified toss version, while older kids and adults get more from the scoring element. One set covers most of a household.

The rope used for these quoits is unbleached, which Jaques specifically notes makes it safe for little hands. This matters for toddlers who tend to put things in their mouths or handle equipment roughly. The rope is also heavy duty, so it is built to withstand young children throwing and dropping it repeatedly outdoors. The packaging is fully recycled too, if that matters to you.

Fully assembled, the base measures 42cm by 42cm by 20cm, so it needs a reasonably clear patch of garden or park lawn rather than a small balcony. Each quoit is 13cm in diameter. Everything packs down into a storage bag measuring 12cm by 11cm by 46cm, which is slim enough to fit in a cupboard, shed, or car boot between uses.

Quoits is an old English throwing game where players toss rope rings at a raised base and score points depending on where each quoit lands. Jaques notes each point on the base carries a different value based on how difficult that throw is, so a ring closer to the centre or on a harder target scores more. Players add up their totals across several throws, which also makes it a light maths exercise for children.

The base is made from solid wood, not a hollow or lightweight composite, which is part of why Jaques describes it as handcrafted rather than mass produced. Combined with the heavy duty natural rope quoits, the set is built to be thrown at, knocked over, and packed away repeatedly outdoors without falling apart. It comes with its own storage bag for exactly that kind of repeated use.

You get the wooden scoring base, the set of heavy duty natural rope quoits at 13cm diameter each, and a dedicated storage bag measuring 12cm by 11cm by 46cm to keep everything together between games. The packaging itself is fully recycled. Jaques has made quoits sets for over 100 years, so this is a long-running design rather than a new untested product.

Because the suggested age range runs from 3 years to adults, it works as a gift that grandparents can actually play alongside grandchildren rather than something that gets outgrown in a year. The unbleached rope is safe for younger hands, while the scoring system gives older children and adults something more competitive to aim for. It folds into its own storage bag afterwards, so there is nothing complicated to manage once the game is over.
