New Football Pitch Opens This September

We are preparing to raise the bar for elite sports facilities with the introduction of a new international-standard football pitch, following a £1 million investment in our sporting infrastructure.

The new 105m x 68m pitch, positioned alongside the resort’s existing professional training ground, has been purpose-built to accommodate the demands of top-tier football teams and further strengthens Carden Park’s reputation as a leading destination for sports training.

The facility features a premium stitched hybrid playing surface, created by Limonta Sport using its advanced VERDEMIX technology. Combined with cutting-edge drainage, automated stadium-grade irrigation, modern player facilities and changing areas, the new development will provide consistently outstanding playing conditions in every season.

International Team Testimonial

Swedish Women's Team

We had the pleasure of hosting the Swedish National’s Women’s Team during the 2022 European Football Championship.

Head of Delegation and National Manager Marika Domanski Lyfors says: “We had a really good feeling about our base camp of Carden Park Estate, and we’re thrilled to say that it was more than we could have ever imagined. Not only did the team to have their own section of the hotel to relax privately between games but having somewhere to train right on the grounds with access to the spa at any time, meant maximum training for the players without burning out. We can’t thank the team at Carden Park enough for providing the best conditions for our team and ultimately, assisting their well-deserved success. We will definitely be returning!”
