More generally, the hotel boasts an on-site bar, restaurant, parking, elevator, housekeeping, room service, and luggage storage if required. 

Rooms are charged at £40 per person per night and you are able to stay the Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday night depending on your travel plans. We recommend that you stay Friday and Saturday if possible as the games will start early on both day's. 

Breakfast is included in the room rate and the kitchen will open early for bookings made through us so that teams can enjoy breakfast before making their way to Bordon Roller Rink.

At the Winter Cup

On arrival at the rink, please enter through the front entrance where you will see the check-in desk. Give us your name and team name, and you will be given a lanyard and tournament programme plus a couple of branded goodies by way of appreciation for your support and participation. 

Merchandise will be on sale in the café area where you will be able to purchase various items of memorabilia at an affordable price. Consumable hockey products such as wheels, laces and tape will be on sale, too, so be sure to pop by the stand and grab a bargain.

In between games, take a moment to chill out on bean bags in the marquee while keeping an eye on the hockey via the live stream. 

Be ready to show us your skills as we will be hosting a range of skills events to test your speed, accuracy and shooting. You will be up against 20 other players battling it out for prizes and bragging rights! 

Once the excitement of Saturday's hockey is over with, it doesn't stop there! All teams are invited to an exclusive party in the marquee where you will find a friendly atmosphere to get to know your opposing teams, dance with the DJ and have complimentary access to the public disco for those wanting to put their skates back on. Food and drink will also be available.

Sunday's action gets underway nice and early with a full day of hockey. We aim for the final to be finished by approximately 6:30pm with the award presentation concluded by 7:00pm.

Food & Drink

Bordon Roller Rink now serves food so we will be working with management to provide a variety of hot and nutritious food for the duration of the tournament. More details will be released once this menu is finalised.
