Venue change - Kenilworth home matches

From January 05, 2026, all Kenilworth home matches in the LDCL will be played at:-

Holiday Inn

Matches will normally be in the Jephson Room, which is immediately opposite the hotel's main reception desk.

Free car parking is available at the hotel, subject to registration of your vehicle at reception, but please be advised that this is rather limited and the car park is regularly full in the evenings.

Free on-street evening parking within a couple of minutes walk on Forrest Road, Abbey Hill, Southbank Road, Barrowfield Lane, Mercia Avenue and Greville Road. Otherwise, paid parking is available in the nearest town centre car parks, Abbey End or behind Kenilworth Library.

As with most LDCL club venues, home or away players cannot bring in drinks from outside/home for consumption at the Holiday Inn.
