What you’ll do

No, it’s not just a game. But you know that, or you wouldn’t be here, looking at this experience. But in Manchester, football is something you eat, sleep and breathe.

So if you’re a City or United supporter (or you’re just curious), we’re sure you can’t wait to visit your team’s home ground and have a pint in a pub that’s always packed to the rafters on match days.

You’ll join one of our Manchester hosts, and from here the choice is yours - indulge in a bit of football history by visiting the building where the Football League was founded in 1888, cruise down to Maine Road, Manchester City’s former grounds, and enjoy a pint at the (in)famous Maine Road pub or visit Old Trafford.

We’re sure you can always hear the echo of “glory, glory Man United” in this neighborhood.

All before setting rivalry aside and visiting the National Football Museum for a spot of history. Time for another pint? Oh, go on then.
