National Sporting Heritage Day takes place on Saturday 30th September. The day is your opportunity to take part in sporting heritage activities across the country and to celebrate the impact sports heritage has on all our lives. This year's theme celebrated community in sport and there were some brilliant events and activities happening to shine a light on the sporting stories of your communities.
We encouraged you to share all your sporting heritage stories and collections on social media using #NSHD2023 on September 30th. And if you hosted a community event, we'd still love to hear about it!
