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.

Our Sporting Memories group
Sporting Memories is for older sports fans (50+) to meet and chat about the beautiful game. Everyone’s welcome to take part and share their memories about amazing players, great games or match-going-anecdotes.
The group currently meets every other week on Wednesdays 10.30am – 12pm at the museum.

Singing for the Brain
Singing for the Brain is an evidence-based initiative from Alzheimer’s Society that uses music to help people living with dementia and their carers connect through song.
Each session supports wellbeing, memory stimulation, and social interaction in a safe, welcoming space.
The National Football Museum is launching a Singing for the Brain group on Tuesday 10 November. As well as fun vocal warm up and a wide range of familiar songs, we’ll also explore football team anthems, and terrace chants and in a fun and uplifting environment (although you don’t need to be a football fan to enjoy the session!).
The group will meet fortnightly on Tuesdays at the museum from 11am to 12.30pm.
Adult Learning
We offer tailored sessions to suit adult learners, with a wide range of themes and topics that use the power of football connect and educate.
If you’d like to bring a group of adult learners to the museum, please email groups@nationalfootballmuseum.com or call 0161 605 8200.
