    Friday 22 May

    Meet and Greet opening party with Pub Quiz!

    Saturday 23 May

    Match day!

    09:30 – No worries. The tournament will kick off with coffee and tea first. Then it’s time to grab your hockey stick, get your team together and get ready for the first matches!
    All teams will compete in pools, so everyone will play multiple games throughout the day. Mid-day, you will be treated to a complimentary lunch. With renewed energy, the teams will play the second round of matches in the afternoon.

    17:00 – By now, the final matches will wrap up, and it’s time to trade sticks for snacks! Players and supporters are invited for some well-deserved refreshments and drinks. It’s the perfect moment to cool down, share stories from the pitch, and maybe even re-live that one amazing goal (or hilarious miss).

    19:00 – Dinner time! We’ll gather for a complimentary, hearty dinner to round off the day. Get ready to taste some classic Dutch food, enjoy good company and maybe learn a few new Dutch words along the way.

    21:00 – Party! The fun doesn’t stop here! After dinner, the DJ will take over to get the party started. Whether you’re ready to dance or just enjoy the vibes, the evening will be all about music, good times, and celebrating together. So bring your best moves – it’s time to party!

    Sunday 24 May

    The Finals & Closing Ceremony

    We’ll start the day with a coffee and a warming-up, to get you ready for the FINALS! After last night’s party, the jury has spent the night preparing the schedule for today. All teams get a final chance to demonstrate their skills on the fields and compete for the ultimate trophy!

    13:00 – Closing ceremony. After the finals, we’ll wrap up the tournament with the award ceremony and a farewell reception including lunch. A final moment to reflect on that once-in-a-lifetime goal you made and say goodbye to your international Hockey partners!

    FAQ’s

    When is the tournament?

    The Open Teylingen Tulip Tournament will take place on Friday 22, Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2026. It’s the Pentecost weekend.

    How many players should I have in my team?

    Each team plays with 7 players, including a goal keeper. Of course you can come with more players, so you have some substitutes and you can bring coaches and supporters too. No goal keeper in your team? No worries, we’ll make sure every team has a goal keeper.

    Where can I stay?

    There are great places in the near surroundings for your team to stay. You can choose to book a hotel in the ‘Bollenstreek’ and come to Voorhout by bike. Most hotels in the area offer rental bikes, great to explore the flower fields too! Or combine the tournament with spending some time at the beach in Noordwijk (15 mins drive) or enjoy the beautiful historic city of Leiden – only 5 mins by train or 15 mins by car.

    Where can we eat?

    The tournament offers you lunch and diner on Saturday and a farewell lunch on Sunday too!
