Croquet anyone? Nothing conjures up the style and elegance of a traditional summer’s day like a game of croquet. Escape normal life and play this skilful game of knockabout fun in the garden, park or on the beach.

Each croquet set contains four wooden mallets, four wooden balls, six wire hoops, wooden peg and instruction sheet.

Each Penguin Bowling Set contains 6 wooden penguin skittles, 2 wooden balls and instruction sheet.

#7. Fifty To Finish

My personal favourite, Fifty to Finish will put your accuracy to the test as you throw the wooden pin at the ten colourful pins and see who can tactically knock down specific numbers to reach exactly fifty points first. Three games included in each set.

#8. Banana Kick

Banana Kick sets two people, or two teams, head to head – each trying to outscore the other. However, the banana doesn’t always go where you want it to go, leading to unexpected twists and turns, crazy passes and an absolute hoot of an outdoor garden game!

#9. Feeding Time Frenzy!

Feeding Time Frenzy offers you the opportunity to sink your teeth into a lively throwing garden game. Simply toss the beanbags into the shark’s mouth and see how high you can score – just make sure you don’t end up on the menu!

#10. Safari Ring Toss

The whole family will have fun monkeying around with Safari Ring Toss. The aim of the game is to see if you can get the hoops over the colourful animal posts! Perfect fun for little ones right up to adults.

#11. Giant Toppling Tower

Can you stop the Giant Tower from toppling over? Take it in turns to remove a block from the tower and place it on the top. The last player to stack a block without the tower falling wins.

The tower is 48cm high at the start of the game, and can reach over double its original height. Great fun indoors or outdoors!

#12. Door Ping Pong!

It’s Ping Pong without the table! We know this one is more of an indoor option, rather than a garden game, but it would make a great choice for rainy days or to bring with you on holidays.

Easily mounted to any doorway with the adjustable clamp, Door Pong produces the same volleying action as ping pong, but in a portable, compact form. Perfect for any room around the house with a door frame, Door Pong is fun for two players or can be played solo. You’ll never have to chase the ball again!
