Join us this summer 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
Museum annual pass £15 (offering repeat entry to the exhibition and events within the exhibition space)
Backing the Blues: 120 Years of Carlisle United is part of the "Be Just and Fear Not": Celebrating our Club and Supporting our Community project made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
