Head to the National Football Museum this Easter for a fun programme of football-themed family activities.

Explore the new exhibition ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees & Goals‘, where kids and grown-ups can discover how football connects to the human body through hands-on play, sensory experiences and real objects from the game. Around the museum you’ll also find trails, puzzles, crafts and football challenges to try.

There’s even a pop-up street-football experience to test your skills, plus a special retro shirt weekend packed with colour and matchday memories.
