Be part of our THIRD Big Sleep Out at AFC Wimbledon! After the massive successes of our two previous sleep outs, we are excited to invite you to join us this year for an even bigger and better event... Whether you are a Dons Local Action Group volunteer; an AFC Wimbledon fan; a local sports club or a local resident, you are invited to join the Big Sleep Out and get sponsored to sleep at the AFC Wimbledon stadium.

There is a fundraising target is £250 for each participant, though this is a target and not a requirement. We are requesting participants to purchase a ticket to participate, at £20 per head (including breakfast) to cover the costs of running the event. DETAILS: The Sleep Out is expanding this year. As well as the West Stand first floor concourse of the Cherry Red Records Stadium, Plough Lane we will be spreading out around the stadium, including pitch side.

Please arrive between 7-11pm - gates will be closed after this time. Please enter the stadium through the gates on the left of the South Stand Entrance, off Plough Lane. If you are watching the game vs Swindon Town please arrive between 11am - 12pm via Gate 5 (East Stand). You can give your overnight bag to a Big Sleep Out Volunteer, wearing a high-vis jacket, who will lock it in the portacabin - you can collect your bag again between 8-9pm. If you are enjoying hospitality, you will be able to leave your bags at reception and a Big Sleep Out Volunteer will take them over to the portacabin by gate 5 (East Stand). On arrival please register with one of our Big Sleep Out Volunteers (wearing hi-vis jackets) and they will explain where to go. The sleeping area will be opened at 10pm after the gates are shut. The stadium food stalls will be serving food until 8.00pm. There is no food available after this time. Our stadium pub, By The Horns @ Plough Lane, will be serving drinks until 11pm. Hot drinks will be available throughout the night if you need one. Breakfast, tea and coffee will be available from 6am the following morning. We will have first aiders on site all night. Bring warm clothes, a thick sleeping bag, anything else you need and a positive attitude!

 We will be emailing participants with further details closer to the date. Enjoy the experience you are a star! Please create your own fundraising page here on enthuse as soon as you can - GOOD LUCK!

The event is for over 18's only. We encourage any under 18's who would like to take part to organise a 'sleep out' at home, perhaps in the kitchen or living room.
