Members of the full Men’s First Team and Women’s team all gathered at Easter Road to meet our Hibs Kids Minis and Junior members for an afternoon of festive celebrations.
This year’s Hibs Kids Christmas Party saw the addition of an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Easter Road. Both the Hibs Kids Mini and Junior Members got a sneak preview into the home-changing room and gym area where there were various player’s shirts hanging up, and provided a fantastic photo opportunity!
The youngsters then got to walk out through the tunnel and out pitchside to take their seats in the dugout!
The party then kicked off in the Edinburgh Club, where the Kids were warmly greeted by mascots Sunshine and Persy; with Santa Clause also in attendance – handing out Hibs Santa hats and Men’s and Women’s posters.
Whilst the party was in full swing, the Hibs Kids were spoilt for choice with activities ranging from face painters to balloon artists and footballer freestyler Gregor Russell putting on a show!
But it was the Hibernian FC Men’s and Women’s players who stole the show, meeting and greeting all the party guests whilst posing for several photos and signing autographs throughout the afternoon.
After collecting all their autographs, the youngsters then got to walk away with a party bag filled with refreshments and a drawstring bag which included another special gift, kindly generously donated by the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.
Joelle Murray, Junior Development Manager & Hibernian FC Women’s Captain commented:
“It was great to see so many happy, smiling faces at Easter Road on Tuesday afternoon at the Hibs Kids Christmas Party.
“We were delighted to have so many members of both the Men’s and Women’s team in attendance and you could see the kid’s faces light when they got to meet their heroes and walk through the dressing room and out pitchside.
“These events are a great perk of the Hibs Kid Membership packages, but fundamentally, it is all about inspiring the next generation of Hibernian FC supporters and future stars!”
