The National Football Museum will be opening its doors early for those with autism and other needs, enjoying over 150 years of football history in a relaxed environment.

Visitors can explore the galleries before general public access, with gallery sound levels at a minimum and a quiet room available. There will be plenty of opportunities to kick a football around in our Football Plus+ interactives, while non-football fans can enjoy craft activities, handling objects, trails and more.

The activities are free of charge and suitable anyone aged 5 and above. No need to book - simply drop in and enjoy what we have to offer!

The museum will be looking to establish regular monthly openings of this nature; please check our What's On page for the latest dates.
