Come on you Seagulls! Storytelling for Footie Fans

If you have been following the updates at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, you might have noticed the new 'Albion' gallery dedicated to the city's football history. To mark its opening, the museum is hosting a series of storytelling sessions titled 'Come on you Seagulls! Storytelling for Footie Fans' on Thursday, 20 August 2026. It is a straightforward way to engage with the local football heritage, specifically designed for those who follow the team or have an interest in the club's narrative.

The sessions are quite short, lasting about 20 minutes each, which makes them easy to fit into a morning or afternoon visit to the museum. They have scheduled three distinct times throughout the day: the first session runs from 10:30 to 10:50, the second from 12:00 to 12:20, and the final one from 15:00 to 15:20. Since the event takes place within the museum, you do not need to purchase a separate ticket for the storytelling itself; it is included with your general museum admission. It is a practical option if you are already planning a trip to the Royal Pavilion Gardens area, where the museum is located at BN1 1EE.

Regarding the audience, the sessions are open to all ages. However, if you are planning to bring children, keep in mind that anyone under 13 needs to be accompanied by an adult. It is a fairly relaxed setup, but if you need specific details on accessibility or want to double-check any last-minute changes before heading out, you can reach the museum directly at 03000 290900 or check their official website. It is a simple, focused activity that ties directly into the new gallery space, offering a bit of context to the exhibits without requiring a huge time commitment.
