Museum's Easter Extravaganza

Posted on: Tue 07 Apr 2009

The National Football Museum will be a hive of activity throughout the Easter holiday period, and if you're at a loose end while school's out, they'll probably have the event for you!

From badge making to egg hunting via a spot of poetry in between, the Deepdale-based visitor attraction offers a varied selection of things to do with a football theme, and there will also be some celebrity sightings on the way, with a number of ex-Evertonians - including former PNE man Howard Kendall - all set to appear at a signing session towards the end of the holiday period.

The forthcoming attractions include:
