Welcome to the 2026 Fixtures Calendar
A Standard Associate (formerly Standard Member) is allowed to play in tournaments without having to be a Croquet England Premium Associate (formerly Premium Member). There is an extra cost for this of £7 per "Levy Day" for tournaments of at least 2 days but, for those who want to enter only one or two local weekend tournaments, this is cheaper than becoming a Premium Associate. For those entering several tournaments, it is more economical to be a Croquet England Premium Associate: see the 'Join Croquet England' page on the Croquet England website.
The 2026 calendar is the busiest calendar that has ever been, giving Members an unrivalled choice of tournament play: there's a tournament somewhere in the UK every weekend at almost every level.
The 2026 Fixtures Calendar will once again be published online only.
As with every year, a big request from the Croquet England office: if you are entering a tournament using paper entry forms, please make it clear which tournament you are entering - e.g. 'Tournament Name', 'Event Name', 'Date', and 'AC' or 'GC'.
Finally, best of luck this season! I hope to meet you somewhere on the tournament circuit.
James Death
Croquet England Office Manager

The online calendar remains your principal source for all the detailed information on the myriad of AC and GC tournaments around the country, as well as the increasing number of coaching opportunities for all players.
