In the heart of Cottingham, the Beverley and East Riding Croquet Club stands as a welcoming hub for croquet enthusiasts. Run by Maureen, this club embraces everyone, from complete novices to seasoned pros. Here, croquet isn't just a game—it's a way to relax, socialise, and enjoy the outdoors.
Forget the stereotype that croquet is just for the posh; this club is proof that it's a sport for all. On the scenic lawns of Rowley Manor, members can play at a leisurely pace, with plenty of breaks for a chat or a breather. Sessions run on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, and Saturday mornings from April to October, but you can pop by anytime to have a go.
Competitive players can also get their fix with regional matches that test their skills against other clubs. You don't need fancy gear to join—just bring some flat-soled shoes. You can use the club’s equipment to get started, and the membership fees are straightforward: £60 when you join, then £120 annually, with discounts for those living more than 20 miles away.
