Join us to celebrate the legacy of Carlisle United (while looking optimistically towards the future). There’ll be more than you can shake a big foam finger at including:

• Jimmy Glass’ blessed boots
• Behind the scenes cine film dating from the 1960s to the 1980s
• Fan Lisa Holmes’ CUFC-themed wedding dress from 1998
• CUFC-inspired sculpture by the renowned contemporary artist Gordon Young
• Rare collections from CUFC fans including personal letters and artefacts,
• Previously unseen photographs from the Cumberland News collection
• Unique memorabilia from former players and their families

Open 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday and 11am-4pm Sundays.

As the rest of the museum will still be closed for redevelopment when the exhibition opens, entry will only be via the Annetwell Street entrance – directly opposite Carlisle Castle and next to BBC Radio Cumbria.

Exhibition day ticket £7
Full admission £15 (offering repeat entry to the exhibition and events within the exhibition space, plus entry to the rest of the museum for 12 months on reopening)
