Celtic FC Foundation is pleased to return to Ireland for it's 5th Sleep out. This year’s Sleep Out will take place on Friday, November 13.

Following the phenomenal success of our Sleep Out events in Sligo, Donegal, Derry and Bray in recent years, Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to announce that our ‘Celtic Sleep Out, Ireland’ event will return this year, as part of our annual Christmas Appeal,

This year’s Sleep Out will take place on Friday, November 13, at ‘The Meadows’, in County Carlow. ‘The Meadows’ is home to St Patrick’s AFC in Graiguecullen, who have very generously offered to host us this year. The ground is a hugely important facility within the area, where young people can come together to play, develop their skills and build friendships, with St. Patrick’s placing a strong focus on grassroots football and local community.

As well as the magnificent support received from our hosts at St. Patrick’s, the Sleep Out would not be possible without the incredible backing of our friends at The Association of Irish Celtic Supporters’ Clubs, as well as a number of Supporters’ Clubs in Carlow and the surrounding counties, including Croppy Bhoys CSC Carlow, Laois CSC, Cil Droichid CSC Kildare, North Kildare CSC and Kildare South CSC.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The non-refundable registration fee is £30/€35 per person. Please ensure you read the before completing the process.

All we ask is that you commit to raising a minimum of £135/€157 (after the entry fee) in support of Celtic FC Foundation’s 2026 Christmas Appeal.

Due to anticipated wintry weather conditions, the event will be exceptionally challenging, both mentally and physically. Therefore, participants must be aged 18+ and in an appropriate physical condition to participate. Participants are required to bring the appropriate equipment and wear relevant clothing and footwear.

The Irish event joins the Celtic Sleep Out, Glasgow and London events, which were launched last month and will take place at Celtic Park on Saturday, November 14 and St. Anne’s Primary School on Friday, December 11.

Funds raised from these events will support our 2026 Christmas Appeal, which reflects the very essence of why our Club was formed, with the primary focus for monies raised through this event, providing support directly in Ireland.

Through this year’s Christmas Appeal, we hope to assist families facing poverty, so they can enjoy the type of Christmas that many of us take for granted.

As well as pensioners, women and children in refuge, the homeless community, refugees and a host of others who would otherwise struggle at an especially challenging time of year.

So please help us make a difference to those most in need within our communities this Christmas.

Thank you so much for your wonderful support!
