“...mixing history and heritage with modern technology to showcase rugby league in a unique way.”

The sport of Rugby League was created in 1895 at The George Hotel in Huddersfield. Now, over a century later, the hotel is home to a permanent exhibition celebrating the game’s fascinating history.

The Gillette Rugby League Heritage Centre is a collection of rare memorabilia, ancient caps and jerseys, valuable medals and trophies, old programmes and pictures. Using plasma screens and floor-to-ceiling graphics, this unique visitor attraction charts the game's progress in a user friendly format that will appeal to all ages.

Admire a collection of over 200 framed prints in the hotel’s public areas before viewing the main displays in the purpose built exhibition hall.

A famous hotel packed with rugby league memories for all the family.
