Village Hotels partner club for sixth year

AFC Bournemouth is partnering with the Village Hotel for a sixth year in succession.

The Village Hotel will continue its partnership with the Cherries as regional supporters for season 2019/20.

The Village Hotel, located off Castle Lane East, supports AFC Bournemouth’s under-21 squad by providing the team access to the leisure facilities, helping with recovery sessions as well as personal development.

The Village will also continue to sponsor the coaching kit of AFC Bournemouth under-21s manager Shaun Cooper.

Facilities at the Village include a state-of-the-art gym, spin studio, spa, 25-metre swimming pool, meeting and events facilities and free parking.

AFC Bournemouth partnerships manager Amy Marks said: “The Village Hotel in Bournemouth has stunning facilities and provides a brilliant venue for our young players to stay match fit.

“We are delighted to have signed them up for a sixth consecutive year and look forward to an ongoing and fruitful relationship.”

Amy Spreadbury, director of sales at Village Hotels, said: "We are so pleased to be continuing our partnership with AFC Bournemouth which sees the Premier League club’s players utilise our gym, spa and pool.

“Seeing the Cherries youngsters about the place is an inspiration to so many people to stay fit and active – and this perfect link between two regional sporting market leaders keeps that message at the forefront of our minds.”

The Village Hotel is also continuing as an executive partner of AFC Business for a third season running and will be regularly attending corporate and club events.

AFC Business, the free-to-join business club with 1,800 members, is the engine for all the club’s commercial activities.

It was launched in 2009 and gives members exclusive offers at AFC Bournemouth, access to events and is a great chance to meet local businesses. 

The monthly events ­– consisting of breakfasts, evening occasions and director level events – are well established and regularly sell out in advance.
