Upminster Hockey Club are really excited to invite you to their first ever HockeyFest this September. 

After so many successful years developing their adult and junior club offer, where they currently have 24 competitive sides and over 200 members, they are branching out into new realms by launching a new community offer "Sticks In, Upminster!".

Upminster HockeyFest brings together the club and new community offer as well as running a series of individual sessions covering something for everyone.

The club's new ways to play include flyerz (disability), walking hockey and something which is brand new - HockeyFit, using elements of the game within a bootcamp/music session doing skills and movements to the beat!

The club are very proud to announce that they are one of the first clubs in London to have achieved the new ClubMark accreditation and within HockeyFest are looking forward to celebrating this achievement with previous, current and new friends of the club.

A full breakdown of Upminster HockeyFest can be found on their dedicated events page:
