We’re staging a Singles and Pairs Skittles Tournament Weekend, especially for those of us who just love an Autumn get-together over the alleys, over a pint and over a hangover…..oh did we say that?
We’ve put together an adults-only two nights party weekend for skittle lovers and supporters from Friday September 27 until Sunday September 29 2024 . Whether you come alone, with friends, mates, your regular team, we’re happy to welcome you – and pair you up if necessary.
So here’s a chance to get together and celebrate our favourite sport with a three day fun-packed competition and an incredible inclusive deal, with fun prizes and trophies for the winners.
The tournament will take place at the ever popular Derwent Hotel in Torquay with meals included and great entertainment on both evenings. In other words, everything under one roof. All you have to do is be there – and ready to roll. Non-playing supporters of course always welcome too. Cheering is absolutely encouraged.
We're planning a series of singles, men's, ladies and mixed pairs competitions, along with live music over the three days, to keep you enthralled, excited and entertained. Saturday night is party night and we invite you to dress to impress! Whether it's your red carpet outfit, fancy dress or your favourite jeans, just make sure you pack those boogie shoes.
The fun begins on Friday afternoon with mixed pairs, reaching the quarter final stage that evening. Saturday morning we kick off with the singles, men's and ladies pairs, again reaching the quarter finals stage by the evening. Then on Sunday, it's all eyes on the alleys for the semi finals and finals!
With everything under one roof, you can stay up as late as you like – it’s not far to get to your bed.
Friendly fun on the alleys for regular skittlers and absolute beginners. Non playing supporters of course welcome too.
Dinner on Friday night, Saturday brunch and dinner on Saturday, Sunday breakfast and full roast lunch.
The Derwent boasts 174 lovely en-suite bedrooms with a range of singles, doubles, twins and triples offering free wifi in bedrooms and public areas.
Your entry fees into the singles, men’s, women’s and mixed pairs are included in the price.
Dance until the small hours, music across the decades, live entertainment plus Saturday night is party night and we invite you to dress to impress!

The Derwent Hotel in Torquay, is one of our most popular hotels. But it’s more than just a hotel. It’s a resort within a resort that provides high quality year-round facilities for its guests.
Just a short stroll from Torquay’s Abbey Sands, buzzing harbourside and town centre, it boasts indoor and outdoor pools, the fabulous Aztec spa centre offering a range of relaxing treatments, the Aztec games centre with English and American pool, arcade games, snooker – and even ten pin bowling if nine skittles pins just aren’t enough. There’s even Albert’s Bar, with live sport and pub grub in a local pub atmosphere.
Come along in any combo, singles, couples, mates, groups, teams, whatever. We will sort the rest with the competition. If you love skittles, we guarantee a fun weekend playing your favourite sport in excellent company.
When you’re ready to book or have some questions to ask, it’s super helpful to have a few bits of information ready. How many are in your party and which events will they compete in.
Once booked, we will send across your statement detailing payment information. Then 3-4 weeks before the tournament, you will receive your itinerary to share with your mates.
You're the guest, not the organiser. Your hotel rooms, meals, entertainment and of course the skittles competitions are all sorted.
All you have to do is book, pack your bag and we do the rest. Whether it's just you, you and your partner, group of friends or maybe your skittling team, we'd love to welcome you to this fabulous events. Skittles beside the sea - what could be better!
With nearly 30 years experience in running skittles events, we totally understand that a weekend away should be exactly that. No hassle, just fun - and with everything you need under one roof.
We do the serious so that you can have the fun.
I’m in complete shock! I normally go out in the early rounds so I wasn’t supposed to get this far! I’ve been playing in the event in the last couple of years and this time around I tried not rush things too much and it paid off. Staying off the liquid refreshments on offer also helped!
