Buckingham Hockey Club has been in existence since before 1950, and has more than 200 members providing social, competitive through to elite hockey that is enjoyable to all its members, by being friendly, sociable and welcoming to all ages and abilities. A club that provides hockey for all the family, from a junior right through to first team representation.

It now has three women’s teams, two men’s team and a thriving junior section which has grown year on year. When hockey was played on grass, the Club shared the same grass pitch area with Buckingham Cricket Club, together with a clubhouse. When hockey moved from grass to artificial grass pitches in the 1990s, the Club was fortunate to play hockey and share facilities on the two pitches at Stowe School, two miles from the centre of Buckingham.

Our 1st Ladies XI have been promoted or won their respective league for the past 10 of 17 seasons and for the first time in 2014 they played in England Hockey’s Investec Premier Division (the top league in the country representing the top 10 national teams in England and Wales) This year they go into the Investec Premier League as champions of EHL Div 1 North. They have made the Play offs to represent England in the European Cup on two occasions, plus have been runners up in the indoor and twice in the outdoor England Hockey cup finals at Lee Valley.

Our 2nd XI have earned 7 promotions in as many years now play in the South Central Div 1 North

Our Men’s 1st XI are entering their 7th year in the league having just been promoted to South Central league Div 3 North and we look forward to an exciting future for the team. Our Mens 2nd XI are starting their 4th year and go into South Central Div 1 Cherwell as champions of Div 2 Cherwell

BHC has a thriving and expanding junior section that offers excellent coaching and playing opportunities for girls and boys aged 6-18 years old. Our juniors have enjoyed success at county, regional and national level. Links between the junior and senior sections are excellent with a number of the senior players involved in coaching our juniors

Over the last few seasons teams in the Club have achieved success and been promoted. However, Club membership has reduced recently due to lack of junior members joining the club. A get-well plan has been designed to rectify this recent phenomenon
