Real talk

Five summers building the garden. One afternoon making it lived in.

You've invested time in the space. Borders planted, lawn tended, somewhere to sit. Then nothing happens there. The Cornhole set changes that: it gives the garden a reason to gather. Kids play it, grandparents join in, friends ask to come over just to play it again.

Within the first weekend, you'll see exactly why this game has been in British gardens since 1795. The garden stops being admired and starts being lived in.

While they play

What children quietly learn while you're in the garden

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

🎯

Hand-eye coordination

Tossing a bean bag 15 feet into a moving target sharpens aim. Three games a day, over a month, changes how steady their throw becomes.

🧮

Mental arithmetic

Keeping score teaches fast maths without feeling like maths. Add 3 for the hole, add 1 for the board, spot patterns, count streaks.

🤝

Taking turns and sportsmanship

You win some rounds, you lose some. Cornhole teaches that loss is a reason to play again, not to quit.

👀

Colour recognition and focus

Four bags of your colour, four of theirs. Spotting which is which, tracking which landed where, builds focus span.

Questions & answers

Questions the garden-gatherer asks

Is it really solid wood?

Yes. Hand-finished boards, not plywood. Karen Pepper put it plainly: 'Toys that don't break after five minutes of play.' The wood is weighted enough to stay firm on grass, light enough to move when you need to. Board life, outdoors with no cover: five seasons. Then you choose to retire it or refinish it. It stays yours.

How fast does it arrive if we're buying for a birthday?

Order by 2pm, arrives the next working day. Gift wrapping is included in the box, so it arrives ready to hand over. Leigh Hemmings bought it on Christmas Eve and wrote 'arrived next day, saved Christmas.' We send the whole set, complete. Nothing for you to hunt for.

My grandchild is 4. Will they actually play it?

A 4-year-old will throw a bag and cheer when it lands anywhere near the board. A 6-year-old plays seriously. A 10-year-old keeps score. Grandparents play alongside. Catherine McCulloch called it 'perfect gift for any babies' 1st birthday' because it grows with them. The rules don't change. Just the skill does.

What if we hate it?

Send it back within 30 days, no questions. We pay the return. Most people never do, because the garden suddenly has a reason to gather. But if it's not right for your space, we sort it. Full refund.

How much does it cost?

The Cornhole Game is £25.50 today (down from £34.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

What's your returns policy?

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story

Making toys worth keeping since 1795.

Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.

Jaques was founded in 1795 to make games that families actually play, not ones gathering dust on a shelf. Cornhole carries that mission: simple enough for a 4-year-old, skilled enough to hold a grandparent's attention. The wood is solid. The rules are memorised in a minute. The garden becomes the place everyone wants to be. We've sold over 100 million games in 231 years because we understand that play is not decoration. It's where families happen.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
