Welcome to The Hockey Museum, the first and only museum and archive of (field) hockey in the world!
Immerse yourself in the sport’s history and heritage, not only in Britain where the ‘modern’ game started, but from all around the world. Discover our vision and ambitious goals, and meet the dedicated people who help bring the legacy of hockey to life. Together with our partners, we preserve and promote the origins and evolution of our great sport. Prepare to be captivated by historical stories, absorbing oral histories and heartfelt obituaries that shine a long-overdue light onto hockey’s fascinating past.
Discover the latest news, ground-breaking research and our programme of exhibitions and events. Learn about our treasured collections of memorabilia and archives, and how you can utilise them. Reach out to us with an enquiry. Sign up to our mailing list to receive historical hockey stories and keep up to date with the activities of the museum.
Support our work to uncover and share the untold stories of hockey. Whether through a generous donation, leaving a financial gift in your Will or lending your time as a volunteer, you can help to save, document and share hockey’s heritage and inspire future generations with its history.
