The Beeston Hockey Club is an English Hockey -Verein from about six kilometers southwest of the center of Nottingham located Beeston . The club with the colors blue and yellow was founded in 1907 by Nottingham graduates from Beeston, had two teams in 1913 before the game was interrupted due to World War I. Re-established for the 1919/1920 season, the club played on two different courses in Beeston before moving with other hockey clubs to the new Nottingham City Council Park in Highfields, where they remained until 1967. Until 1978, the place behind the Ferry Boat Inn in Stoke Bardolph was the home of Beeston HC, but the club returned to the Highfields Hockey Center in 1978 and formed the Highfields Sports Club with the Crimson Ramblers Ladies Hockey Club . In 1988 the club received one of the first club-owned artificial turf pitches in the country. With the support of Sport England and state lottery money, two new artificial turf fields and an additional training field were built in 2002, and the clubhouse was expanded.

In 2005 Beeston HC founded a women's division with players who were mostly active in the former Charnock Ladies HC . In 2008 the club merged with the Nottingham Highfields Ladies HC (a result of the merger of Crimson Ramblers and Sherwood Ladies Hockey Club ) to form the new Beeston Hockey Club with eight men's and seven women's teams.
