Families in search of festive fun this holiday season can introduce kids to a Premier League football experience like no other and even score a selfie with Santa on top of the roof of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

From 20th December to 3rd January, embark on a festive adventure on the Stadium Tour and Dare Skywalk which is set to be transformed with a festive makeover.

Young football fans can enjoy the thrill of visiting one of the world’s best sports and entertainment stadiums, where you don’t need to be a Spurs fan to have fun at the ‘12 Days of Spursmas’ advent calendar experience.

Magical clues inspired by the iconic 12 Days of Christmas carol will offer an interactive seasonal experience for kids and their parents to solve on the Tour which will also feature a winter wonderland installation with giant snowballs, penguins, fir trees, and a giant snow globe for guests to step into for immersive Christmas photos. Guests are encouraged to bring out their creative side with fun activities along the Tour such as ornament decorating and the gingerbread decorating*.

There’s even festive themed face painting and a special Mrs Claus’ workshop where children will be given reindeer food and enjoy singing songs with the reindeer. Even Chirpy, the beloved Tottenham mascot will be getting into the Christmas spirit and will make a special appearance.

For festive thrill-seekers, the Dare Skywalk attraction offers a chance to show off your Santa skills and climb to the top of the stadium before standing over a glass apex at more than 46 metres high above the famous pitch below.

And to help get into the festive spirit and make the view over London extra special, guests will be able to grab a selfie with Santa himself equipped with his sleigh and Reindeer before enjoying a warm mulled wine or hot chocolate at the end of the climb.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR, CHICAGO BEARS AND PREMIER LEAGUE UNITE IN SUPPORT OF NO ROOM FOR RACISM

Tottenham Hotspur today joined forces with the Premier League and the Chicago Bears to educate and inform primary schoolchildren around the League’s No Room For Racism initiative.

Around 30 children from Lea Valley Primary School in Tottenham attended an informal panel event hosted in the Press Auditorium at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The panel followed workshops in which the students learned about the power of diversity in sport and the importance of being an ally in the fight against racism by utilising the Premier League Primary Stars resources on the topic.

Premier League Primary Stars inspires children to learn through the power of football in more than 19,000 primary schools across England and Wales. The Tottenham Hotspur Foundation has worked with 14 primary schools in Haringey and Enfield, including Lea Valley, to engage and inspire students and teachers through their love of football, as well as promoting Premier League values.

The children had the opportunity to ask questions to legends from each of the two featured clubs – former Spurs captain Ledley King and ex-Bears’ defensive back Jerry Azumah.

The questions centred around the topic of allyship and drew on experiences from the two athletes’ own careers, whilst also touching on the importance of speaking out against racism publicly.

Romero, 9, said: “My favourite part of today was meeting Jerry and Ledley, but at the same time we learned a lot about No Room For Racism. I learned that we should always be available to help anyone who is facing discrimination in life. If anyone is facing racist comments, the first thing you should do is go over and ask if they’re okay.”

Ledley King said: “Today has been a great way to mark the Premier League’s No Room For Racism initiative. It is important as former athletes that we use our voice to promote a more tolerant and inclusive world, and I was delighted to share a platform with Jerry to discuss this topic as well as our own experiences with the students.”

Tottenham Hotspur Legends Attend Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice’s Annual Golf Day at The Grove Hotel in Watford - London Post
Description

Tottenham Hotspur Legends Ossie Ardiles, David Howells and Pat Jennings plus Wimbledon Legend Dave Beasant all attended the annual golf bash at The Grove Hotel in Watford on Monday to raise money for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice in Barnet.

David Howells said: ‘It was a fantastic day, we managed to meet some wonderful people, and all for a brilliant cause in supporting the work done by Noah’s Ark.’

The footballing legends were joined by a host of the charity’s corporate partners such as Ardent Hire, Asbestech, Taylor Wimpey, Martyn Gerrard and Belcor Ltd and sponsors Powerday at the luxurious hotel for a day of golfing followed by a sumptuous lunch and auction led by Ian Irving. Some of the prizes that were up for grabs included a round at Centurion with Tottenham Hotspur Legend Ossie Ardiles, a round at the beautiful Sunningdale Golf Club with Manchester United Legend Steve Coppell plus a bespoke Noah’s Ark t-shirt signed by Tottenham Hotspur men’s first team. The shirt was one of those worn by the team in the warm-up to the north London derby match against Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.

Approximately £100K was raised on the day in aid of Noah’s Ark’s Children’s Hospice. Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. It costs over £6 million a year to keep Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice running, with 93% of that coming from voluntary donations. This vital support ensures that we can continue to provide expert and compassionate palliative care for over 350 children who have a life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families.

A Noah’s Ark dad, Roscoe Mahoney, attended and spoke candidly about his life and experiences. Roscoe and his wife Gina have 12-year-old twins Ray and Arthur who have been supported by Noah’s Ark since they were babies. When Ray was born, he suffered a bleed on his brain, which has affected his development but despite this, his wonderful personality shines through.

Roscoe said: ‘It was amazing to be at the golf day, Noah’s Ark is very dear to me and a huge part of my life, and Tottenham is also in my DNA! I was so grateful to attend and to have had the chance to meet the legends.’

Sophie Andrews OBE, CEO of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice said: ‘We had such a wonderful day. It was great for all our generous supporters who bought tickets to hear a personal story from a dad who spoke very movingly about the support his family receive from Noah’s Ark. Our partnership with Tottenham Hotspur continues to go from strength to strength and we were delighted to have them represented on the day.’
