Aunt Sally
Aunt Sally is a hugely popular pub game in the county of Oxfordshire and is a thriving sport that has spread to other areas of England in recent times. The idea is simply to knock the Aunt Sally doll cleanly off a swivel on the top of a post by throwing wooden sticks at it. It's an old game that is great fun, whether you're playing in a pub league or less seriously in your back garden! From Masters Traditional Games, only quality equipment will do. We commission a turner with decades of experience in quality wooden products to make our Aunt Sally sticks and dolls. Aunt Sally is not suitable for young children. People should stand well clear of the throwing area at all times.

There is no standard type of Aunt Sally post and they can be made from sturdy wood (square or round cross-section) or any other material. We have found in the past that a standard 3/4 inch metal gas pipe from a DIY store makes an ideal post - but make sure that the internal diameter is not too small for the swivel to fit into. Cut to a length of 3 foot, 6 inches and bury the first foot in the ground. Note that if the ground is quite soft, you may need to bury a slightly longer post more deeply.
For your convenience, we do now make available these pre-cut gas pipe posts that should work fine.
