Heart Yorkshire Children's Day
Radio Heart Yorkshire teamed up with
The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation and
The Leeds Rhinos Foundation
to deliver this year’s, Heart Yorkshire
Children’s Day!
Your Benefits
Children’s Day is an annual event, run
by both foundations, which brings
together thousands of children and
families to Headingley Stadium for a
fun filled day of exciting activities for all
the family to get involved in.
Activities and stalls were situated
across Headingley stadium, on and off
the Cricket Pitch including a market
from The Real Junk Food Project,
Tropical Butterfly World, Jack Rabbits
Pottery and much more!
Major Match Day
Activations
Every season, The Yorkshire Cricket
Foundation engage with children all over
Yorkshire, giving them the opportunity to
get on the pitch during major matches
here at Headingley.
'It was great to have so many local
organisations involved and
supporting the day, all proving to
be extremely popular attractions for
families of all ages. Something we
really strive for with many of our
projects at the YCF is the
involvement of local people and
businesses, and Children’s Day
really displayed this’
– Nick Robinson, The Yorkshire
Cricket Foundation
The YCF also grants one lucky child
the chance to be our mascot for the
day, giving them the once in a lifetime
opportunity to go out into the middle
with both captains for the coin toss.
The Guard of Honour invites two cricket
clubs to stand guard, waving flags high
as Yorkshire run onto the pitch before
start of play. They then both compete in
our Throw Show competition, on the
pitch, during the interval.
