Leisure on the lawn

Outdoor garden games

Croquet and lawn putting, the most quintessential of British sports, can be extremely competitive and a thrilling way to spend an afternoon. Join your friends and family in our landscaped gardens, toss a coin to decide who goes first, then race around the circuit and send your opponents’ balls off course. Are you a tactical or team player? You decide. 

Just ask our reception team for equipment.

Outdoor garden games

Croquet and lawn putting are our traditional British pastimes, or why not try your hand at a game of boules? This traditional French lawn bowling game requires a steady hand, accurate aim – and a fair amount of luck. You’ll need to be similarly skilled for quoits, which involves throwing hoops over wooden pins to accumulate points.  

If you prefer something a little more strategic, check out our giant lawn chessboard – the perfect opening gambit to a summer afternoon outdoors.
