🎄This Holiday season, we’re inviting schools to take part in a special Premier League Primary Stars workshop inspired by one of the most powerful stories in sporting and human history – The Christmas Truce of 1914 🎄

In these seasonal workshops, pupils will share the story of the incredible moment during World War I, when opposing soldiers paused fighting to share in a moment of peace – and even played a game of football together!

✉️ For more information or to make a booking please contact Nicola Burton: [email protected]
