Garden Quoits

Colourful 5-pin wooden quoits game celebrating one of Britain’s oldest traditional pastimes. Thought to have arrived with the Roman occupation, quoits became so widespread by the 14th century that Edward III banned it, fearing it distracted archers from military practice. Over time, the game evolved into turf, sand, ship-deck and indoor variants, beloved for their blend of precision, sociability and simple equipment. By the 19th century, quoits had become a fixture at fairs and public houses. This durable FSC-pine set includes five scoring pegs and painted rings; matching the ring’s bead to the peg doubles your score. Compact and easy to pack away, it brings intergenerational fun to gardens, picnics or living rooms.
