The Leeds Big Sleep returns for another year, bringing together the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, St George’s Crypt and St Gemma’s Hospice for a night under the stars at AMT Headingley Stadium on Thursday, October 24th.

Over the past seven years, the Leeds Big Sleep has grown significantly, raising over £300,000 for the three 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.
