Queen of Hearts Crazy Cues at Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton

Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire has a new activity for visitors to play - Queen of Hearts Crazy Cues.

The game is a cross between Crazy Golf and Snooker.

The Crazy Cues course is part of the farm's new area inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Crazy Cues attraction has been designed so that each of the 12-holes can be accessible to all players.

Looking at the Crazy Cues tables it appears they are Pit-Pat tables! A game not often seen in the UK, and to my knowledge there is only one other Pit-Pat layout in the country (at Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle in Devon - where it is known as Crazy Snooker).

The Crazy Cues course is a new one for us to check out on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Visit the Fairytale Farm website for more information.

Minigolf at Leopoldpark in Blankenberge, Belgium

A visit to Leopoldpark in Blankenberge, Belgium.

Emily visited three courses and a new country on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when she went to Blankenberge, Belgium back in 2016

What a sight for minigolf fans

The seaside resort is home to a Minigolf course, a Crazy Golf and a Snookergolf layout. The three 18-hole courses at Leopoldpark became the 710th, 711th and 712th visited on the tour.

Since 2006 Emily and I have visited 1,045 miniature golf courses around the UK and overseas on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. As well as playing minigolf in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man we’ve travelled to minigolf courses in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (Lanzarote and Majorca), Sweden and the USA.

We've got some great old postcards from Blankenberge that show the miniature golf courses which used to be at Leopoldpark. It's great to know there are still courses on the same spot today.

The whole place looks marvelously bright and colourful.

Bar Billiards at Sudbury Snooker Club

We spotted a sign for Bar Billiards while in Sudbury, Suffolk last month.

We really enjoy playing the game, unfortunately Sudbury Snooker Club was closed at the time we were there. We've noted it for a future visit though.

Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room in Manchester

The new Roxy Ball Room at Withy Grove in Manchester will be home to a Crazy Pool layout.

Work is underway to create a new Roxy Ball Room venue at next to the Arndale Centre at Withy Grove in Manchester. One of the new games to play there will be Crazy Pool.

Crazy Pool is also available at the Roxy Ball Room on Hanover Street in Liverpool. As a fan of minigolf and billiard hybrid games I was intrigued to see what it would like as I've played a few on my Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

You can see a preview of the Crazy Pool at Roxy Ball Room in Liverpool on Roxy Ball Room's Facebook Page.

Taking a peak in the windows at the new Withy Grove location we saw a number of the Crazy Pool tables taking shape. They looked really good.

It'll be interesting to see what the cues and balls are like and what other obstacles will appear on the tables.

Visit the Roxy Ball Room website for details of their eleven venues and the games on offer.

Check out my blog post "Crazy Snooker Pool Billiards Golf and Pit-Pat" for a look at some of the stranger miniature golf and cue-sports crossover games we've played on our travels.
