Our Story
A growing community of pétanque players in Milton Keynes
Who we are
Pétanque for Everyone
Bancroft Park Petanque Club brings together players of all levels — from curious newcomers to seasoned competitors. We're based in Milton Keynes, where we've built a welcoming community that values friendly competition, good company, and the simple joy of a well-thrown boule.
Our members range from those discovering the game for the first time to players with years of experience. We meet regularly to play, improve, and enjoy what makes pétanque special: it's accessible, it's social, and it's endlessly satisfying.

What We Stand For
Welcoming Everyone
New to pétanque? No experience needed — we'll teach you and you'll be playing from day one.
Real Competition
We play seriously but never lose sight of the fun; competitive fixtures sit alongside relaxed friendly games.
Community First
Pétanque is a social game, and we foster the friendships and good humour that make our club thrive.
