We have plenty going on around the ground after the FanZone was cancelled last week due to the weather, it's back this week!

What's on at the game and when? 

The FanZone returns this week, at the front of the stadium for ease of access, with a brand new menu of street food including Hot Dogs, Curry and Burgers!

The best cheerleaders in Super League, the Huddersfield Giants Pro-Squad, won’t be far from the DJ tent providing the best dance performances Rugby League has to offer. Refreshments will be available from the bar and food outlets with alcoholic and soft drinks and confectionery on the menu!

The inflatable goal posts will be available, brought to you by the Huddersfield Giants Community Trust, for the younger audience to hone their skills for the future providing a competitive edge to get them in the mood for the game.
