Night at Manchester’s National Football Museum: England’s Euros matches to be screened after hours

The National Football Museum is set to host a series of family-friendly watch parties after hours for the Women’s Euros this summer, as the Lionesses look to build on their success.

Families and visitors of all ages are welcome to support and celebrate England (and Wales!) as they kick off their campaign against France on 5 July, followed by matches against the Netherlands on 9 July and Wales on 13 July.

Watch parties have been confirmed for all three group stage games.

The watch parties will be free to attend, with an on-site bar and an option to pre-order pizza ahead of the games.

To mark the beginning of the tournament, the museum will also host a vibrant weekend of events on 5 – 6 July. Strike a pose in Lionesses’ kits, create your own dazzling banner, and drum up support with your very own chant – there is plenty of WEuro’s fever to get wrapped up in.

“This promises to be an exciting summer for football as the Lionesses look to build on their successes”, said Tim Desmond, CEO of the National Football Museum.

He continued, “We want to bring the powerful sense of community that tournament football delivers to our museum, helping visitors new and returning understand why football matters and witness the impact our pioneering Lionesses can have in inspiring generations of budding young footballers. That’s why we are so delighted to be able to offer watch parties for this year’s tournament, providing a safe, inclusive, and exciting place for all fans to cheer on England.

“The National Football Museum is a celebration of the nation’s favourite game   – what better place to experience the WEuro’s and – fingers crossed – watch the Lionesses’ bring football home again!”
