The Canberra Croquet Club welcomes groups to use the sport of croquet to add a challenging, innovative element to your function whether it be a corporate team-building session, office Christmas Party, special event or family celebration.
Guests are taught how to hold a mallet, hit a ball, hit another ball and run a hoop. Our members will assist and offer tactics to your players - there will be much laughter, groans but above everyone will have fun.
There are several choices depending on the size of your group –
Hirers are encouraged to arrange their own food and beverages or employ a caterer. Chairs and tables are placed under the trees so that refreshments can be taken whilst playing. NO glassware is permitted on the lawns. (The Club does not provide catering).
Ask your guests to wear flat and preferably closed-in-toed shoes – runners, sneakers are ideal. Croquet balls are solid and unforgiving if they come in contact with feet or toes. High heeled shoes are NOT to be worn. There is a lot of bending and swinging a mallet between legs so shorts, trousers and leggings are more suitable than long skirts/dresses. Please wear a hat and liberally apply sunscreen.
The availability of the lawns varies throughout the year depending upon the scheduling of regular draws for members or if a National competition is being held and during Daylight Saving.
Bookings can generally be accommodated as per the following times
Children under the age of 12 are NOT allowed on the croquet lawns, or in the Clubhouse at any time other than to use the toilets. A non-participating adult must supervise the children.
The Clubhouse has two toilets – ambulant and accessible. Please advise our Hiring Co-ordinator if any of your guests have special needs as we can provide additional one on one assistance.
The Club has a defibrillator.
The Club has a small car park located between the Hyatt Hotel and Coronation Drive. Entry is via Kaye Place off Flynn Drive. Three-hour spaces are sometimes available at the back of the Hyatt. Paid parking on the Albert Hall-side of the Hyatt.
