Celebrate the rituals, friendships, and joy of a match day.

Journeys to the Match is a community focused exhibition, exploring the everyday traditions of football fans and what makes their match day special.

From a deep dive into the transport that fans have taken through the years, to lucky charms and match-day mates, this experience celebrates the simple joys that unite us all – no matter which teams we support.
