After a lot of planning, months of collating of memorabilia and of course, the transformation of the Urbis building in Manchester, I am delighted that the National Football Museum will open its doors to the public tomorrow.
The presence of the museum right in the centre of the city of Manchester is a great choice. Manchester is known world-wide for its football heritage and the museum is sure to be a huge attraction for visitors to the city.
The Hall of Fame is sure to be hugely popular with all ages too. It promises to “celebrate the greatest players, managers and teams of all time in English football.”
I am off to the opening celebration later and will be writing a family-focused article on why the museum will be great for mums, dads, grandparents and kids.
But for now do check out the museum’s website for all the latest information and opening times: www.nationalfootballmuseum.com
