Hockey La Jarra


The Seventh+II edition of the Castelldefels 'La Jarra' Hockey Weekend took place on 27/28/29 June 2025.  Castelldefels Hockey Club is located just outside Barcelona (Spain), close to the beach and with frequent train connections into the city.

There were 14 teams, both Men and Women.  Following on from a successful test in 2024, we again played mixed hockey on Friday with 6 teams being created by combining the Men and Women teams together.  Everyone agreed that this was a great success and we will be repeating it in 2026.

The festival ran from 12:00 on Friday until 15:00 on Sunday.  However in 2026, we will start earlier on the Friday to allow a little more social time at the end of the playing day.

A fun addition in 2025 was the 8-person per side table football which helped get everyone mixing during the weekend. 

As in previous years, the focus was on having fun, getting together with old friends and making new ones. The only winners at the festival were the participants. We came, we played, we chatted, we laughed....we went home happy.


As in previous years, all social events took place at the club in the marquee. On the Friday night we had our Gala Dinner. This was the first time we had the Gala Dinner on the Friday (in all previous years it has been on Saturday).  Our favourite caterers were once again on hand providing a great meal with great service.  After, we partied well into the night. 

Saturday included a buffet lunch washed down with some local wine and an Argentinian BBQ in the evening followed by music from the DJ .  

On Sunday there was a Paella lunch after the hockey had finished, when we attempted to finish the cases of wine before sending you off to the airport to catch your flights home.  

We employed professional caterers through-out the weekend.

You may be wondering what is 'La Jarra'.  Well, Jarra is Spanish for jug or tankard. Every participant in the event is given their own Jarra on arrival at the hockey club.  Each Jarra is individually numbered for easy identification and comes with a convenient clip so it can be attached to your stick bag when not in use.  The Jarra is to be used all weekend to avoid us having to use plastic glasses.  It also serves as a memento of the weekend.
