Autism friendly early opening at National Football Museum

The National Football Museum will be opening its doors early for children with autism, their families, friends and carers.

Families can explore the galleries in a calm and relaxed environment before the general public access. Gallery sound levels will be minimal with a quiet room available. There will be plenty of opportunities to kick a football around in our Football Plus+ interactives, while non-football fans can enjoy craft activities, handling objects, trails and more.

The Museum has an autism friendly visitor’s guide.
