To participate in Simon’s Big Sleep Out, you’ll need to pay a £25 registration fee, plus a booking fee, per person. Other than that, it’s all about the sponsorship.

We ask everyone taking part to raise a minimum of £200. Learn more about how your money makes a difference and all the ways you can donate here

The event takes place outside Leeds Civic Hall in the city centre. The address is: Calverley St, Leeds LS1 1UR

We’d like to say a big thank you to Leeds City Council for all of their help and support - this event wouldn’t be possible without them.

Absolutely! Security will be present at the event throughout the night, so you can take part in safety.

There is no parking at the event. If you intend to drive, check the surrounding area for your preferred car park. Alternatively, there’s plenty of public transport that goes very close to the event location

Tents aren’t permitted at the event. Whilst we know we can’t exactly replicate the conditions of homelessness, we want to make the experience as close to reality as possible.

Like tents, air mattresses aren’t permitted at Simon’s Big Sleep Out.

Yes, there are, along with a place to brush your teeth. Once you arrive at the event, just ask one of the organisers, who can tell you where the toilets and facilities are located.

Food and drinks will be available throughout the evening—along with some live entertainment.

Breakfast will also be provided in the morning.

Unfortunately, children aren’t able to take part in Simon’s Big Sleep Out. You must be over 18 years of age to register.

If there’s anything we’ve missed, or if there’s anything else you’d like to know, all you need to do is contact the team here at Simon on the Streets, and we’ll be happy to help.
