LEEDS BIG SLEEP 

The Leeds Big Sleep returns for another year, bringing together the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and St George’s Crypt for a night under the stars at AMT Headingley Stadium on Thursday, October 29th.

Over the past nine years, the Leeds Big Sleep has grown significantly, raising over £330,000 for the two charities to support the city’s most vulnerable individuals.

Participants from across the city, including volunteers, businesses, staff, and Leeds Rhinos players, are encouraged to spend one night on the terraces instead of in the comfort of their homes.

A whole host of entertainment will take place throughout the evening for participants to enjoy, whilst selfies can be shared on social media using the hashtag #LeedsBigSleep.

  • Leeds Rhinos Foundation was formed in 2005 to work with some of the city’s most disadvantaged people by using the power of sport to inspire positive changes in their lives.
