Hebburn Town will be opening our doors to The Green Energy Sports Ground on May 2 to the town of Hebburn and wider community of South Tyneside from 11:30am until 5pm.

We've created the event to celebrate the fantastic achievements of the full club and wider community over the past 18 months, during a period where everyone has encountered the global pandemic but still managed to support each other in many ways.

In addition to this, the club gained some fantastic success last year and created history in winning the Buildbase FA Vase Final at Wembley and secured promotion to the Pitching In Northern Premier League East Division at a time when we couldn't really celebrate collectively, and we believe this event is a great opportunity to do so.

The day will be a packed full of fun and we encourage families to come along, bring a picnic blanket, enjoy the weather and socialise as a community.

The event will be opened and attended by the Mayoress of South Tyneside, Cllr Pat Hay, with the first of its kind annual group photo of Hebburn Town taking place - around 1,000 players and staff will congregate onto the main pitch for this mass photo opportunity, demonstrating the scale of our community reach.

Families can then enjoy music over the sound system whilst browsing some of the fantastic stalls, as we're working with local group Food & Drink North East and their Local Heroes Pop Up Market Concept.

There will be a small number of fairground rides available for smaller children with face painting also available throughout the day.

At 2pm, we'll be showing a re-run of the iconic Buildbase FA Vase Final on the large outdoor screen and indoors screens within Hebburn Sports Club, with previous and existing club players in attendance to chat to supporters.

Newly-named first-team manager Daniel Moore, alongside his backroom staff, is set to make an appearance to meet supporters for the very first time.

The day will come to a close with some live music, available on the terrace or indoors depending on the weather, for everyone to enjoy.

The event is FREE entry for everyone, so come along and let's celebrate our community and football club together.
