The 18-hole Crazy Golf course is now open at Game On in Sittingbourne.

In a twist on 'normal' crazy golf, half of the course is played with a putter on the ground, while the other half is crazy pool and played with a cue.

Check out the Game On Facebook page for more information.


It's another new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It was marvellous to see the shopfront with the happy faced mascot on it shining out on the parade of shops on Chaucer Road.

It was nice having a chat to the shopkeeper who seemed just as happy as us to talk about the Happy Shopper brand! He also pointed out the celebration clock they still have working in the shop.

Happy Shopper nostalgia

We've felt very nostalgic during the pandemic and one of the old brands from our childhood we thought about was 'Happy Shopper' - the name alone conjures up images of the 1980's.

We didn't think there would be many - or any - of the original orange and yellow branded shops still around, but we were proven wrong when we saw one in Preston in September 2020.

Since then we've been lucky enough to spot and snap a few more on our somewhat limited travels. Take a look at my posts about other Happy Shopper shops in:
