If you haven’t visited the Club before, Sussex County Croquet Club is reached from Kingston Lane, Southwick, West Sussex.

Use Kingston Lane or enter BN43 6YW (postcode for Shoreham College opposite the club) and ignore the last part of the directions onto the college site. Our entrance is just opposite the college.
