Derry set to host 'Celtic Sleep Out' event

Following the success of Sleep Out events in Sligo and Donegal in 2021 and 2022, Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to announce that they will be returning to Ireland once again, for a ‘Celtic Sleep Out, Derry’ event, which forms part of the club's 2023 Christmas Appeal.

This year’s Sleep Out will take place on Friday, November 17 at Derry’s very own Celtic Park.
Celtic Sleep Out, Derry participants will spend the night – from 9.00pm to 5.00am – battling the elements outdoors, all for a wonderful cause.

“We offer special thanks to our friends at The Association of Irish Celtic Supporters' Clubs, the Derry No.1 CSC and our fantastic GAA hosts, whose unwavering generosity, advice and assistance have been instrumental in the organisation of the event,” a spokesperson said.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The non-refundable registration fee is £30 per person.

Each participant is tasked with raising a minimum of £135 (after the entry fee) to support this year’s Christmas Appeal.

Due to anticipated severe weather conditions, this event will be exceptionally challenging, both mentally and physically. Therefore, participants must be aged 18+ and be in an appropriate physical condition to take part.

Celtic FC Foundation will provide a ground mat and foil sheet/blanket but participants are required to bring the appropriate equipment and wear relevant clothing and footwear.

Funds raised will help bring relief this festive season to those struggling at an especially challenging time of year.
