Night Owls Sleep Over

Even the greatest Sheffield Wednesday fan might never have thought about sleeping in their beloved Hillsborough Stadium.

But on Friday 22nd March there will be a chance to make that sporting dream come true as the Sheffield Wednesday Community programme joins up with South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout for the Night Owls Sleep Over!

Starting at 8pm and going on all the way through to 7am the next morning, there will be a chance to sleep in the celebrated stadium, raising money to help vulnerable young people who are at risk of becoming homeless.

Get ready for an evening filled with fun activities, exclusive access to the stadium and an immersive tour of the grounds, exploring the historic nooks and crannies that make Hillsborough Stadium legendary.

By taking part in the Night Owls Sleep Over, you’ll be supporting Roundabout, South Yorkshire’s youth homeless charity. All sponsorship you raise will help young people at risk of homelessness in our region have a brighter future.

“In a totally safe and family friendly atmosphere, we will be asking our supporters to brave what could still be a cold night, swapping beds for sleeping bags on the floor of the concourse in the famous stadium,” said Roundabout Fundraising Manager Emily Bush.

“During the evening there will be plenty of activities to enjoy, making it the perfect event for Night Owls of all ages!

“Of course, an event like this cannot truly replicate what it is like to be homeless, lonely and frightened - but it will offer a small insight into the realities that are faced and will help to make a real difference to the lives of young people.”
