The world famous Headingley Stadium has been synonymous with world-class sport for over a century. Formerly Lot 17A of the Cardigan Estate, the north Leeds venue was purchased for £20,000 in January 1889 for the Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Co under the Chairmanship of Lord Hawke. Now home to the Yorkshire County Cricket Club and the famous Test wicket, Leeds Rhinos RLFC and Leeds Tykes RFUC and the infamous South Stand, Hawke’s vision of creating one of the world’s greatest sporting venues has been realised. Headingley has witnessed some of the greatest sporting triumphs and legends of the last century - each one a book-mark in the pages of Headingley’s rich sporting history. From the first kick and pass, Headingley attracted substantial crowds and quickly became the premier sporting venue in Yorkshire and secured international status almost immediately. Substantial re-building, expansion and improvement projects over the past century to accommodate increasing attendance have firmly cemented Headingley as one of the most unique, imposing but hospitable venues in the world. The impressive sporting venue is equally matched by the Stadium’s corporate hospitality. Headingly Stadium has a number of high-quality suites and lounges to suit any requirement, from exclusive, members only clubs, to informal banqueting suites and hotel facilities.
