The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation team are passionate and determined employees, who work tirelessly in the community to deliver vital projects, create opportunities while also offering expert advice whether you are working or volunteering in sport.
Our focus is on the communities in our county. As the Yorkshire County Cricket Clubs official charity, our role is to deliver community projects across Yorkshire, working with all sectors of society. To achieve this, we deliver our four main themes: Education, Health and Wellbeing, Participation and Heritage.
The Stadium Tour at Headingley is run through our Heritage theme.
A tour of Headingley gives you an opportunity to go behind the scenes at the most successful club in English cricketing history.
Join one of our expert guides who will lead you through iconic parts of the ground including the Museum and the Long Room in the East Stand; the Howard Suite in the newly built Howard Stand; the Players’ Dining and Changing Rooms (subject to availability); the Media Centre (which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the cricket ground and the city of Leeds) and other areas of the Clean Slate Pavilion.
Headingley has an extraordinary history, inspiring views, and a wonderful and varied collection of cricket-related artifacts and memorabilia. A tour of Headingley is for all age ranges and levels of cricket interest and an opportunity to look behind-the-scenes.

Recent reviews of our tour:
May I take this opportunity to say how impressed we were with the extent of the tour. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. We had been looking forward to it for some time and it surpassed all our expectations, because Mel was such an excellent tour guide. He imparted so much information and had a depth of first hand knowledge, together with many amusing anecdotes. We learnt so much about the history of Yorkshire County Cricket and we were shown so many parts of the ground and its facilities. We will certainly recommend the tour to our friends. - 17th July 2022
On behalf of our members who went on the tours on Thursday I say a big thank you to you for facilitating them. Without exception every cricket and non cricket fan thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I have been told to pass on their sincere appreciation to our guide for how he joyfully and knowledgeably conducted everyone around the stadium. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 11th August 2022
