Groups

Are you looking for a new and exciting venue to bring your group to?

How about visiting the biggest and best football museum in the world!  We have an amazing building which is completely accessible and we welcome all groups, big and small. If you’re a bunch of football fanatics you’ll feel right at home, discovering incredible objects and sharing your football memories; if you’re not, then we're sure you’ll still enjoy exploring this wonderful space and discovering the hidden stories behind the world's most popular sport.  

To make your visit complete, we also have a café serving delicious locally sourced food, where seating can be reserved in advance for your group, or if you fancy something more substantial, the restaurant on the fifth and sixth floor has some amazing views of the city.

Why not combine your visit to the museum with a ground tour at one of the city’s famous football clubs. Or, as we’re right in the city centre, check out one of the other great attractions nearby or enjoy the wide variety of shops – Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and the Arndale Centre are all just two minutes walk away. If you’re a teacher and want to bring a group along for a more formal learning experience then visit our Learning pages.
