History of the club

The club formed informally in 2018 as a U3A club playing on a Monday at Cote Heath Bowling Club

Equipment was loaned to us by the Croquet Association.

With the onset of Covid, Croquet was one of the few sporting activities allowed under the regulations. So numbers grew quickly to over 20 active players

There was much demand for additional playing times so in 2021 we were able to play a couple of extra days a week at Cote Heath.

In 2022 we obtained a licence from High Peak Borough Council to play at the disused Ashwood Park Bowling Green. Some enthusiastic members obtained a mower and quickly brought it up to playing standard.

The Buxton Croquet Club  now has over 30 active players
