Traditional garden games

We love bringing back the simple, joyous games of yesteryear for children and adults alike.

Inspired by history, our forgivably nostalgic range of traditional games promises entertainment for everyone.

How much does it cost?

Prices vary on detail but are around:

£180 for 45 minutes
£220 for 1 hour
£360 for 1 ½ hours
£400 for 2 hours
Need us to play all day? No problem! Get in touch and we can make a plan!
Just want to hire our kit so you can play yourselves? Get in touch, and we’ll work something out!

Our Traditional Garden Games, include sack races, hoop rolling, tug of war, hopscotch, egg and spoon – all the sports day favourites.

The games are high-energy but we also have plenty of calmer lawn games for people who prefer a quieter more low-profile experience, such as quoits (ring toss), skittles, battledore and shuttlecock, spud guns and pea shooters.

Unlike most providers, we do not simply hire out the kit, rather all our games are led by a HahaHopscotcher, so everything will go smoothly and be heaps of fun, for both the guests who are joining in and those who are watching.

The games can accommodate children, adults, or mixed groups of family fun. Few can resist joining in, but our games are just as much fun to watch, so provide quite a lot of entertainment in one package!

All our kit is carefully chosen to be a beautiful addition to your day, so will look just as good in the photos as it does on the day. We love wicker, hessian, and wood, made in the UK wherever possible.

We aim to be a scene-setter, not an eyesore!

We’re additionally able to offer our gorgeous homemade bunting for decoration.

Every occasion is different, so we’re never ‘off the peg’ – do get in touch to discuss how we can make your day truly special:

Our kit includes sack races, tug of war, rolling hoops, diablos, croquet, quoits, gorgeous 3-legged ties, skipping ropes, egg and spoon…. all the favourites!

We had the team from Hahahopscotch come to our annual Cleveland Square Kid’s Party once again and we could not have been happier. They were such fun; the kids had a glorious time, laughing and running around and spending time together playing. The balloons were a particular hit this year! We cannot imagine our party without Linden and her team coming along and helping us and the kids celebrate. Thanks again, and we will see you next year!

Thank you once again for being with us for the weekend. You really make an impact with the kids and are a fantastic part of the festival. It looked like the children had a wonderful time playing games with you. It was an utter delight to have you because as soon as I saw you I knew that it was all going to run perfectly and I wasn’t going to have to worry about a thing. So thank you ever so much for giving us that fun family aspect. Your contribution was absolutely integral to the atmosphere, wonder and the obviously fantastic time the audience was having. We love having you and hope that you will be back next year.

The party went so well, you did a terrific job at keeping these young girls amused and occupied.

Thank you so much for arranging Dot’s brilliant big adventure yesterday. You made such clever use of our scruffy communal garden and the children – a disparate gang of three and four-year-old boys and girls – had a great time. As did the parents. It was the perfect antidote to princesses and pirates, soft play and stuffing soft toys. We heard nothing but appreciative comments.

Linden was amazing and her games were fantastic - such old fashioned fun that everyone loved! They were incredibly inclusive and people were really curious about them. I have received nothing but glowing comments from the guests. Brilliant fun!
