Heritage Open Day: Preston

Ever wondered what the world’s oldest football collection actually looks like?

Join us at our Research and Archive Centre for exclusive access to our vast Football Heritage Collection.

The National Football Museum’s archive boasts thousands of unique objects and artefacts from the game, and is housed within Deepdale, home of Preston North End.

Across this two-hour session, visitors can get a sneak peek behind the scenes, exploring the stores and quite literally getting your hands on some of our remarkable objects. As part of the experience, there is also the opportunity to look at artefacts relating to the life and career of Preston’s favourite son, Sir Tom Finney.

This session kicks off at 12pm and finishes at 2pm, with the tour commencing at 1pm. Booking is required: please contact polly.slater@nationalfootballmuseum.com to secure your place.
