Football at War: Exploring Football in the First World War

Join us for Football at War, a unique and insightful study day exploring the fascinating role of football during the First World War. Held in an original wooden Great War recreation hut, this immersive event brings history to life through a series of engaging talks by expert guest speakers who really know their offside from their artillery! The event will be accompanied by a special one-off exhibition by the Football and War Network.

Discover how the beautiful game endured and evolved amid the chaos of conflict, on both home soil and the front lines. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a football fan, or simply curious about the untold stories of wartime sport, this is a day not to be missed.

Lunch is included in the ticket price – because no one should fight through a study day on an empty stomach.

Bring your curiosity, your sense of humour, and maybe a scarf for your favourite team!
