The game of Bat and Trap is an ancient relative of Cricket, still popular in Kent and an interesting game for those looking for something new to try. The same equipment could also be used for playing another traditional game, "Knur and Spell", that will go down well at village fetes or local fairs.

This is a solid, robust version of this great game, made to withstand the rigours of league use. Not only is our trap practical, it is also a beautifully made wooden item.

Both the trap and the bat are hand-made by an English craftsman in Ash. Occasionally, you will see inferior Traps for sale locally or on the Internet. Before buying an alternative, check it against some of the following features of our trap:

  • Solid English Ash throughout
  • Stainless Steel Base Plate along entire length
  • Solid Stainless Steel Fulcrum
  • Wicket hinged at ground level with galvanised steel hinge
  • Rubber Feet for Stability
  • Low strength magnetic wicket base
  • Holes in the base to allow trap to be pegged down, if desired
  • Rubber pad to reduce see-saw impact on base
  • Morrells Catalysed Lacquer for long lasting and durable finish.

Our Bat is nominally 5.5 inches wide and conforms to all known Bat and Trap league requirements, as does our Trap. The balls are hard rubber lacrosse balls which are the best balls for Bat and Trap that we know of.

It is a common problem with traps that the wicket often falls over when the bat strikes the trap see-saw. Our trap is designed to minimise this issue by putting a mild-strength magnet on the underside of the wicket. It doesn't affect play when the wicket is hit by a ball but minor vibrations of the trap are less likely to cause the wicket to fall when it shouldn't. On uneven ground staking the trap down with metal pegs through the three holes provided will also serve to reduce this effect.

Please note that simple assembly is required. The metal base must be screwed into the wooden trap. 6 screws are provided. The trap is designed to be struck only on its lever and can be damaged if the body or other parts of the trap are hit hard with the bat, in which case the guarantee is void. The Bat and Trap are guaranteed for six months against normal wear and tear.

A long handled bat is also available as some 'batters' like to grip their bat with both hands. This maintains the 5.5 inch width and therefore conforms to Bat and Trap league requirements. The total length measures 51cm with a handle length of 28cm.
