From Grassroots to Greatness
The inspirational stories of England’s brightest stars will be displayed at the National Football Museum this summer, as the museum explores player journeys from kickabouts to the world stage.

First class museum. Learned an awful lot more about a game I’ve followed for 20 years. Fascinating history and amazing to see some artefacts up close. Could easily go again as I’m sure there was a lot I missed, even despite spending two hours there. Loved the different themes on each floor. Child friendly too with plenty of ‘hands on’ experiences.
Really fun and great value for money. Loads of interactive stuff for adults and kids alike. Well worth a visit!
Great experience for our children, in particular, our 7-year-old football-loving son. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable and we loved all the interactive activities to keep the children moving. We will definitely be back to get the most out of our year-long ticket.
Modern, fully accessible building with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
