The Hockey Museum opened at the beginning of 2012 in splendid premises in Woking, Surrey.

In two years it has come a long way in establishing itself as the leading institution for collecting, storing, archiving and researching the rich history and heritage of the sport of hockey.

New collections arrive weekly and there are fascinating stories connected with most items.

There is already a keen group of volunteers who support the work on most Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but the Museum Trustees have recognised that they have only just started on the journey and they are actively looking for more volunteers to join the group to help take the work forward.

Anyone who is interested in the history of hockey and is keen to get involved will receive a warm welcome. There are also many opportunities to become involved remotely for those who do not live close enough to Woking.
