Croquet Club Twilight Tuesdays

What to Expect at Twilight Tuesdays

Twilight Tuesdays bring croquet players together for relaxed yet engaging games as the afternoon light softens. Participants arrive ready to play on the lawns, with sessions running weekly on Tuesday afternoons. Whether you are new to the sport or have played for years, the format suits a mix of casual social rounds and light competitive play.

People warm up with a few practice shots before pairing up or forming small groups. The focus stays on enjoying the game while chatting between turns. Youth, adults and seniors all take part, creating a steady rhythm of activity that continues through the evening glow.

These weekly Tuesday gatherings suit anyone looking for regular outdoor sport without needing prior club experience. Visitors are welcome to join in, and the atmosphere stays friendly while still offering opportunities to improve technique and strategy.

• Take part in both social and competitive formats depending on the group
• Meet other players across different age groups and experience levels
• Learn or refine shots, tactics and hoop-running skills
• Enjoy fresh air and steady movement in a structured yet relaxed setting
