ENJOY A CRACKING DAY OUT AT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL MUSEUM THIS EASTER!

Across the holiday, visitors can channel their inner Cantona and pose for a three-minute sketch by a special guest artist, replicating the striker’s stance in the museum’s Art of the Game painting. Tuck into the arts and crafts box to make your own (non-edible) Easter eggs, and take part in some unique LEGO challenges, using the famous bricks to build new objects from the museum’s collection. There’s even time for a Finalissima football festival on Thursday 6th April, with activities, creative workshops, facepainting and more, ahead of the Lionesses’ big game against Brazil!
