World-class, historic facilities suitable for training and competition

Bisham Abbey is the home of England Hockey with one pitch changing every 4 years to replicate the pitch surface of the next Olympics. One of its football pitches is an exact replica of Wembley’s DESSO pitch, another is a UEFA standard 3G pitch. Indeed, Bisham has seen football teams, including Barcelona, training at their facilities and England Rugby had their training base here until 2005. Now Bisham is home to both Olympic and Paralympic athletes, as well as Football and Tennis Academies and Reading Women’s Football Club.

Bisham Abbey can host football, rugby, tennis and hockey teams. Set in stunning grounds in Buckinghamshire just outside of London, Bisham is well-situated for time spent in London either side of the tour. Teams can travel see matches and enjoy tours at Twickenham (subject to tour dates).
