 Welcome

Torbay Easter Hockey Festival is a select long running Hockey Festival steeped in tradition. Teams return year on year which is testament to its popularity and its success. Our focus is on excellent competitive hockey played with true sportsmanship. All games are played on excellent astro pitches with all facilities.

There are two trophies to be won: The Bill Stickles Cup - for the most goals scored and our Fair Play Award - The Redcliffe Cup offering challenges for all teams.

The Festival revolves around our Festival Headquarters, The Redcliffe Hotel, Paignton - one of the most prestigious hotels in Torbay - which offers a warm welcome to all participating hockey players and their families. This includes excellent food, beer and wine at discounted prices, BBQs every day on the Grand Terrace overlooking the Bay itself and a glorious sandy beach.

We are again extending an invitation to new and existing clubs to participate in this Hockey Festival now entering its 59th year.

The Festival runs throughout the Easter holiday with fixtures arranged against both local and touring sides.
Each team plays up to 7 games over the 4 days on excellent astro-turf pitches situated in and around Torbay, from Dawlish in the east to Totnes, Torquay and Clennon Valley.

Many teams bring their families as the location is ideal for a combined family/sporting holiday. Teams can enjoy their own entertainment as well as visiting the Festival Headquarters at the Redcliffe Hotel, Paignton, the social centre of the Festival, situated right on the sea front.

The Festival Committee encourages Club sides of a good standard as well as teams of mixed abilities with the emphasis being on hockey played in true Festival spirit.
