Football is for all, and so is the National Football Museum. We offer a wide range of community events and activities to inspire and engage all our visitors.

Using our unique collection of football object and archives, our communities team bring the stories of football to life, through interactive workshops and creative activities.

We offer a seasonal programme of family activities and museum events throughout the year, so make your you check our What’s On guide before your visit.
