GOLDEN OLDIES-Make your plans for Melbourne!

You’re invited to Melbourne Join us in October 2021 to be part of the fun of Golden Oldies Hockey and experience this fabulous city. There are many sides to Melbourne. It’s serious yet playful, quiet yet dramatic, sport-obsessed yet in love with the creative industries. Melbourne is a city that is constantly evolving, improving and changing, every day and all year round.

And it will be an amazing host for the next Golden Oldies World Hockey Festival in 2021. Every participant will have the chance to explore laneways, bars, art spaces, restaurants and boutiques. And of course you’ll enjoy all the on-field fun and off-field socialising that Golden Oldies is famous for. All games will be played on international standard synthetic fields and the facilities will be second to none. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me and we can get the ball rolling to get you and your team to Melbourne. Yours in Hockey Nikki Cameron

Know before you go
St Kilda – Party central for 2021 St. Kilda is Melbourne’s iconic seaside suburb and is just a short tram ride (6km) away from the CBD. Featuring several attractions including the Victorian-styled fairground, Luna Park, St. Kilda Sea Baths and the shopping and restaurant strips of Acland and Fitzroy Streets, St. Kilda is a popular base for many travelers, particularly during the summer months. Once a desirable suburb for Melbourne’s elite in Victorian and Edwardian times, St. Kilda has a fascinating history and still features many of its original mansions and iconic attractions today.
