Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s Chaplain, Bishop Chris Edmondson said: “I’m very excited that the Club is going to be hosting its first Christmas celebration of this kind in December, as we continue to bring our communities together, to share in marking important religious and cultural celebrations.
“We’ve been delighted to welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds to Headingley for the immensely successful Eid Milan and Diwali celebrations, and it will be fantastic to have a great turn out of people joining us on the 16 December.
“I’ve been privileged to have attended these other celebrations, and can reflect on how important it’s been to see individuals from a range of faiths and communities coming together to enjoy time together in these ways.
“Our Christmas celebrations will combine some carols and other Christmas music, interviews, and readings, along with great food and drink, and I very much look forward to seeing many of our supporters and their families at Headingley on the 16.”
