The Gipsy Hill Station Garden Pétanque Court Grand Opening!

After a successful fundraising campaign and lots of work in the garden, the Gipsy Hill Station Garden Pétanque Court is ready for play! Join us on Saturday 16th May. We will be playing all day from 10.30 am, and from 3pm it will be for the Grand Opening. Try your hand at pétanque on our new purpose-built court, expert players and first-timers all welcome!

The Gipsy Hill Station Garden Pétanque Court wouldn’t have been possible without the pledge of £2420 from Sport England, which Friends of Gipsy Hill successfully match-funded through crowdfunding and sponsorship. A huge thank you to all of the individuals and local businesses who helped us raise an additional £2420, and to Sport England for the initial pledge.

Special thanks to Universal Construction Ltd for organising the digging, spreading, and raking. Thanks to G.N.K. Builders Merchants (West Norwood) for holding and hauling.
